7.5 miles; Voluntown and Sterling, CT Mileage hike. Um, perhaps I should explain that… See, I’ve been on Weight Watchers for lo, these many months (since the last week of March). And I’ve found that you can get a lot more flexibility in your weekly points allowance when you do a minimum of one really […]

6 miles; New Haven, CT I decided to do this 7-mile blue-blazed trail in sections after seeing how intense it was with my friend Stacy last month. VERY glad I made this decision.

4.8 miles; Lyme, CT After my too-ambitious plan to hike the Warner Trail got postponed till Spring, I kind of slacked off.
