WINTER COMES FAR TOO EARLY...
1.8 Mile Walk Around the Pine Hills Neighborhood
Thursday, November 15, 2018
First it was cold temperatures, then a storm that dropped a little snow and a bunch of ice... but tonight we've got the first real snowstorm of the 2018-19 winter season. And it's already caused the Mohonk Preserve to pull the plug on this year's After the Leaves Have Fallen Half Marathon (which is usually held a week earlier at Minnewaska State Park, but was moved due to construction there this fall.) Now it just remains to be seen if it will be enough to get us a day off from school tomorrow...

12.4 Mile Ride on the Mohawk Hudson Bike Path
Monday, November 12, 2018
Yes, my legs are beat from this weekend. But chances to ride in the daylight will be few and far between from now until March, and it was a gorgeous sunny morning for my entire drive back to Albany.
Unfortunately, the sky clouded over as I was eating lunch... but it was still a decent ride, all things considered. And I even saw several cormorants and three herons.

A GOOD NIGHT FOR A RIDE!
19.8 Mile Ride on the Mohawk Hudson Bike Path
Friday, November 2, 2018
I had originally planned to run after work, but 60+ degree nights are few and far between in November, so I made the decision to take the bike out instead. And it turned out to be a really nice night for a ride, despite over half of it being after dark.
The warm air over the cold Mohawk River formed big clouds of fog over the river and over the Old Erie Canal in Rotterdam Junction... pretty darn cool.
Riding felt good enough that once I got back to the park I even did a 2nd trip out to Scrafford Lane and back... and the timing was perfect, since the rain kicked in just as I was getting back to the car for the last time.
The return to standard time on Sunday morning means this was likely the last time for a while that I'll be riding after work with any daylight to spare - so I'm glad I was able to take advantage of the opportunity.

1.4 Mile Walk at Buckingham Pond
Thursday, November 1, 2018
Too exhausted for a run tonight 😞 but I did manage to do a quick walk around the pond after running an errand. I really wish I'd planned ahead and brought a camera - despite it being a grey evening, the maples near the pond are all golden and I could have gotten some nice pictures. By the time I get back there many of the leaves will probably be on the ground.
The birds were also especially active, maybe because the weather was a little warmer. I even caught a couple of glimpses of the kingfisher.
