August 11: Another Quiet Night on the Town

Sue and I are heading out to Minnesota on business for the weekend. It's been raining hard up here, with maybe only a brief break in the clouds in the forecast for Thursday. The "Hut-2-3-4" is still a month away, which leaves plenty of time for adventure ... but not this coming weekend for mutha.

The Bushwack

Our mud-caked legs cast no shadows.
The rain-soaked forest and tangled marsh,
Fermented under hazy skies & thunder.

Wasps seemed born from the mud and heat
And from each hurried pull
That always nearly left us breathless, shoeless.

And after our passing, no doubt,
The marsh and wasps settled down,
And the beavers continued to ignore their long-abandoned dam
.

    Stonehill College Soccer locker room booze cheer after we won...you subsite the end with whoever we beat then go drink your face off....

    What has everyone been doing for training? I have been running and that is about it 7-10 miles...not really pushing myself. I have a wedding this weekend, then I am back up to Lake George the following weekend with a scheduled hike 5-6 hours around Lake George. I am going to try to hit the Blue Hills for a double traverse.

    Keep me posted...

    MZ and Sue enjoy Minnesota...
