Hyperion run flooded: Heritage Trail under water
Above, photo by Sarah of Joanne and me on Fall Hill Drive, Fredericksburg, Virginia, midway through the regular Saturday 6-miler from Hyperion Espresso. (The trail is on the far side of that guard rail.) And below, a police officer’s photo from the opposite side of the river that day, on River Road at the entry to Falmouth Beach.
Fathers Day 10k Race
Unusual Snow Day
I measured 2.75″ on the patio table at 7am, but nothing on the patio. It had stuck to everything except hard ground. The county closed the schools anyway, so that meant the nearest middle school track was available for public use. I went to run about 10am. The track surface was mostly just damp, and almost dry in places by 11am.

Dahlgren Rail Trail Half-Marathon
3rd of 7 men over 60, holding coupon later spent on a fancy pair of socks. Photo by my long-run marathon training partner Leslie Kash, who also took an age-group prize. On right, actual rails which only extend 100 yards or so into the race course. Over my right shoulder is the insulation I added to help keep my backpack water supply from freezing. Trail map
Spectators on the course
Elspeth assures us these are alpacas, not llamas, because of their long ears. Photo by my long-run marathon training partner Leslie Kash, taken on Elk Run Church Road (near the Gray Horse Winery) during our 16-mile out-and-back run from Goldvein to Elk Run Church site on February 12th.
