Awakening from Hibernation - Spring 2020

So after the months of relative Winter Hibernation Season I got on the scale this AM knowing I would be heavier.  Several pairs of pants in 34 are....tight'ish..

211.6 - UGH FML for me thats WAY more than I want to see, 3 weeks ago I had a 207'ish.

My tolerance for cold and/or rain has really put me off the track this winter.  That and time off has had the feedbag on also.  So in my case I really just need to kick myself in the pants and get back to running 1x a week and 2 or 3 cycling a week.  50 miles as a goal.  Wakefield plus a commute is near 25 miles typically.  so 1 mid-distance or 2 shorter rides.  I'd like to even shoot to start doing an occasional hooky ride with Pete for 50 or 60 miles by end of April.

Wakefield Trail Work season is ramping up.  I put 5 hours in some trimming and mostly digging out drains that are new/rebuilt or cleaning existing in Phase 1 and on part of Phase 2.  A few trees down need clearing including one near the mid-intersection of phase 1, 1 on creek trail behind the rec center and 1 on phase 4 that is badly ramped.  Also have a TON of cuts to make to clear tree's and crap that are covering prime lines in Salamander and Phase 4. 

More regular notes to self to follow.
