We have been quite fortunate (as well as careful) in Vermont, doing our best to keep ourselves and each other healthy. Fortunately, we have the ability to stay appropriately distanced from each other to minimize spread by doing what we do best – enjoying the outdoors. I, and most of the other hikers, mountain bikers, […]…Continue Reading Trailrunning in the Covid Era

The Kingsbury Greenway
From time to time, I go for a trail run in the Mad River Valley, and over the years have blogged a few of my runs from this beautiful place on the other side of the mountains. A few cars parked alongside Rt 100, on the left, just a half mile or so north of […]…Continue Reading The Kingsbury Greenway

I also had the realization that this month constitutes the 10th anniversary of this blog, so I should really come up with a run that was suitably adventurous. I […]…Continue Reading The Wrong Way to the Keeywaydin Caves
Trailrunners After Dark
Let’s face it – the days ARE getting shorter, so sometimes, it is tough to find the time to go for a run during the daytime. The easy solution to this, of course, is the purchase of a headlamp and reflective clothing, and warm clothes. I have also blogged from time to time about the […]…Continue Reading Trailrunners After Dark
