Stowe 10 Miler Training–Week 1
It’s nice to finally get back into training for a fall race. Last year it was the Newburyport Half Marathon; this year is a 10 mile race in beautiful Stowe, VT.

Since this was back in October, I don’t have all of the details, but I can recall the important points.We … Continue reading Camel’s Hump & Mt. Mansfield
Hiking Mt. Madison
Ah, the November hike that didn’t quite go as we had hoped. We even changed things up and drove up to NH late on Friday evening so that we would get an early start on Saturday morning. The weather was really cold and there was snow on the mountain, but there was no wind and … Continue reading Hiking Mt. Madison

But for now, I am here to share our last hike of the year. And this hike was a special … Continue reading Last Hike of 2021–Mt. Race
