I had a good hike out by the Black River. They sure named it right. That rich New Jersey soil I hope is what turned the water black.

The Pochuck Boardwalk is an amazing and convenient area of the Appalachian Trail. I was there for the first time last Sunday, 4-6-25.

Ran up by Sunfish Pond again today. This photo is of the Buckwood Trail, which I think is mostly, if not all, in Worthington State Forrest. Beautiful misty foggy day out there.

Good ruck this morning at Hacklebarney State Park. This photo is of the Windy Ridge Trail. The ruck was ten pounds.

Well, my training for Terror of Tamanny is done, taper has started. Forty five minutes moderation running this Morning at Frelinghuysen Park. I found this donation marker near the swimming pool. At first I was taken aback, I thought is was a gravestone.

Good run this morning at Natirar Park, a little over six miles, including some hills and speed intervals. So nice to run in spring kit after all the layers of winter.

Good run at Frelinghuysen Park this morning. The frozen ground warmed up as the sun rose and created some boggy ground, nice and soft to run on. I suppose bog running is kind of incidental to fell running, like between the fells theres bogs.

I saw these two characters on my Fartlek run yesterday at Frelinghuysen Park. It was a good run. I finished before the torrent of rain started.

I pushed some endurance intervals this morning. The app is telling me I set a Threshold Pace, which I interpret as a good thing or at least not a bad thing. The Sun peeked above the horizon during my run near the North Branch of the Raritan River, so nice to see it.

This is from the Appalachian Trail a few weeks back. My stride looks a little awkward on the snow I think. Check the bio if you would like to contribute to my fundraiser for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. I am running a Backyard Appalachian Trail (BYAT).

From the shore looking out on Sunfish Pond, 2-16-25. When the rain would melt some of the ice on the trees it would come crashing down. So from all around me sudden crashing noises thundered near and far as I moved through the ice covered trees.

This photo is from the Buckwood Trail near Sunfish Pond, taken 2-15-25. This stunning view took my breath away when I looked up and saw it. I had delicious warm tea in my thermos and some home made chocolate tootsie rolls to keep me hydrated and energized.

Good run near Sunfish Pond on Sunday 2-16-25. This picture is from Buckwood Trail. Trees and bushes were beautifully covered in ice. Started raining pretty good by the end and the ground snow and ice turned into a frosty slush.

Another treadmill run today so no particularly photogenic moments. This picture is from my icy ruck on Sunday 2-9-25 near the North Branch of the Raritan River. I thought the spooky vibe of these bare trees against the grey sky was quite striking.

North Branch of Raritan River taken, 2-9-25, during my ruck. Snowy and icy out there under a grey sky. The idea of adding extra weight and calling it rucking is strange and wonderful to me. It gives my spirit a lift I do not interrogate.
