Quabbin solo -- Sat. March 7

On a gorgeous day, with the return of spring weather after a suddenly very cold week, out in late morning to do an Enfield, with the goal of attacking hills and getting some miles in--and taking some pictures (first time I've carried a camera, I think). Start on GeoHannum and Hamilton, then up Allen and over 9, across to 202, then pause to take pics of the old mill site; continue up the hill and then left on Enfield to go down to the water -- except it was still ice! More pics, with one taken from out on the ice a bit; then round the trail (which was slippery) and back up out of the reserve, down Enfield and across to Jabish. Attack the hill, but it seems pretty long this time (five minutes from river to top). then back along the common and home, thus:

Time: 1:09:16
Distance: 9.04 miles
Pace/Speed: 7:40s/7.83 mph

Comment: fun to take the camera, even if it meant stops (and I didn't stop the clock on all of them). Jabish is a tough one, but I think I'm starting to get the measure of it.
