How are things going for the fam down south? Wishing you guys the best!

 

So one of my storm troopers is finally starting to peel from opening and closing the windows (I'll tuck the next one). But here are my current options leaning towards yoda If I can get it in grayscale. Sent a message to the seller.

 

Blue hills.

 

Eh. They're going. She has a real shitty situation to deal with.....

In reality, with work, the house, and 2 teenagers... I have it easier....

Thanks

 

Forgot abut that one, skyline trial is good one. I was leaning towards purgatory chasm and just doing multiple loops, but maybe I'll do blue hills.

 

Iirc skyline trail is like 8 miles

 

Yeah, somewhere around there. Hiked part of it a couple months back. If I'm feeling good maybe I'll do the length and back of it, if not I'll just turn onto another trail to make it shorter. Just looked up the map and lots of trails to bail onto to go back.

 

Or if you're really a glutton for punishment run the ski hill. "sprint" up, walk down, repeat until dead. Bonus hardo points for doing it with a sandbag or weight vest.

 

Practice for the death march at Killington.

Just got a new pair of trail shoes so I'm wanting to give them a good test and the rocks at blue hills would definitely do the trick.

 

Gotta trim some hedges of mine and FIL then hoping to go visit my parents Saturday or Sunday but one day I will be kayaking/ fishing

 

I just can't like this, sorry man. Been there.

If you were considering Purgatory Chasm, instead, head over to Mendon Rd in Sutton. There's a bunch of mountain bike trails over there and I know you can easily do ten miles. There is a small parking lot with a kiosk right near 350 Mendon Rd, and some of the trails are on the Trailforks app, or you could wing it.

 

Not sure what state your in, but I always wonder how those are legal with the tint laws etc..

edit: in MA I see. I can't see how you would ever pass inspection

 

Thanks!

 

What did you get? I'm partial to Hokas, but I run like a special needs gorilla and need all the some padding I can get.

 

I haven't spent a weekend at home in 2 months, maybe more. When work gets out I am heading to the marina and getting an impeller kit for the outboard, tomorrow I will do chores around the house, mow the lawn, dump run, laundry etc. then I will replace the water pump. Sunday I'm thinking of fishing some saltwater, probably fish the high tide out of Newburyport or something.

 

Rear window even? That sucks.

 

I got the VJ XTRM. I had been eyeing them since they came out in the fall and at tough mudder a couple weeks ago they had them on sale for $40 off so figured I'd give them a shot. My reebok all terrains are shot to shit at this point so I needed a new pair and didn't love the all terrains

 

It goes on my cap not the actual truck. So i pass without issue and i put them on my side windows of the cap, not that the rear is covered in decals as well.

 

I have the Reebok all terrains too. Great grip obviously. I wore them when I did the Ultra last year. They just have no padding and beat the shit out of my feet.

 

Yeah anything more than like 6 miles in the reeboks i get blisters no matter how much vasaline i put on my feet. These VJ shoes have a rock plate on the entire sole which apparently is supposed to help with that. I noticed that Kempsen was wearing the VJ's at the boston sprint a couple months back, I think they're trying to get in with the pro's to promote them. We'll see how I end up liking them.
