(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

Our first foot race together, Erin’s second 10k race, and her first women’s first place award. Erin’s time 54:01, mine 54:05. It was Bishops Events’ Fathers Day races, Old Mill Park, Fredericksburg, Virginia.

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

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.

At the half-way point of our six-miler on my final day at work. Mario V. in red, Peter F. in black. There was a great blue heron standing to the left of the beaver lodge but he must have been too shy to smile for the selfie. 92F, 33C, 70%RH, 81DP, 114HI. Some of us took some walking breaks on the way back.
