Drove out to Hoosick Falls, New York with DL to meet my folks for our beef pickup.

Just like the trip from February, we took the Mass Pike to Route 22, and along that at some point DL remembered a club she once new of built like a boat, named, you guessed it, "Showboat".

Once back to Connecticut, I rambled around the roads for 4-miles.

Just 3-miles on Main Street after work, in the dark.

Merry Christmas!

Late afternoon ramble along the Metacomet, checking the trail against icy conditions. 

All in all, trail was decent, managed 4.3-miles.

Spent a few hours in the evening at Runsteveo's new place in West Suffield.

Music 2019...

Effort #55,  Second late summer recording of "I Still Haven't Found What I Was Looking For".

Too icy for the woods, so I stuck to the roads, managing 5.2-miles on the Mather Loop.

Hill Street Extended Loop again, on the very cold and icy side...   9.7-miles.

4-mile run along Main Street before a trip to visit the folks.

3-mile run along Main Street in the early morning...  12-degrees.

Black Lizard / Vintage Crime #32 for 2019...   Gregory McDonald's "Confess, Fletch".  

This is the second installment of Irwin Maurice Fletcher, of the "Fletch" series.  Written in 1976.

Music 2019...

Effort #54,  Another late summer recording, "Transparent Radiation".

Most of the morning and early afternoon spent at St Francis, where DL had a procedure completed.  

Took a run on Main Street in the early evening for 3-miles.

Met up with Wuzzam and the Old Goat today, figured we would attempt to run from Old Turnpike Road (just off Route 44) in Mansfield, to a turn-a-round point at Perry Hill Road in Ashford.  Basically, we were running the first-half of the historic Nipmuck Marathon, out and back.

No snow or ice to bother us at all, mid forties, lots of wet areas.  Ended up with a nice 12.4-miles.

Heavy Rain most of the day, managed 5.4-mile Mather Loop around 11 a.m.

As the cold rain began to fall, I shuffled through McLean Refuge for 3.7-miles.
