My trip started with a red-eye flight from Guatemala City at 11:30 PM. After a layover in Newark I arrived at the Logan Airport in Boston at about 10:30 AM. Then a bit of early Christmas shopping in southern New Hampshire followed by an excellent 90 minute trail run in Winant Park. (The park is named after a former New Hampshire governor – who was also a St. Paul alumnus – it is where my daughter's teams do their hill sprints and intervals.). We logged just under 1000' vertical, and all I saw was the back of Dick's blue windbreaker. I finished off the day with a five hour drive, bringing Lucy home for her Thanksgiving vacation. It was great to have so much time to chat, and her enthusiasm for the coming ski season is almost boundless.
