Since I’m working on salvaging the week, much like David insisted, I got my butt out of bed this morning and went to check out the Copp Family Property, a new-ish Town of Groton park. And I liked it.
From the street, it doesn’t look like much, just a 20 car gravel parking lot and a pretty nice wooden and gilt sign. But as a place to run, it is pretty good. I didn’t map it with the forerunner, but I was out for about 40 minutes and didn’t overlap much, and don’t think I took all the branches. The trails weren’t smooth or well graded, but they weren’t completely full of ruts either. I was happy.
Tomorrow’s the boy’s fifth birthday – my lovely wife is kind of worked up about having the party at our house. But I think it’ll be all right. We’re also going to my company’s annual party that evening, so sneaking out for a run or bike will be tough. But I will do it.
Speaking of the bike – I dropped my Ultegra wheels and my lovely wife’s hybrid wheels off at the shop to get trued. On the way back, I saw the sweeper trucks out beginning to pull the sand off of the road for the summer. I cannot wait to get back on the bike…
And I hear the warm weather is really on its way up. Just in time. Happy birthday to the boy. 5 is a cool age:)
Happy 5th to the boy and Good Luck with the party! ~ It sounds like your training is going well. Are you going to the race next Saturday?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the little guy! Glad you kicked your butt back out there.
LOOK! Blogger let me comment! hurray!
Happy birthday to your son! Good thing they sweep the gravel & stuff up out in CT. I was riding north of Boulder out here and hit a patch and flew about 20 ft – cracking my helmet.
Good luck sneaking in a run!

I sometimes wish I were five again, instead of just acting like I’m five…
