OUTSIDE AGAIN, after almost a week of suffering w/my Baltimore Buddy, Troy Jacobson.

In the low 50s. No ice or snow on the MUT or road.

First bug in the mouth for 2009, too.

I thought it would take a rain to wipe it all away but a combination of a couple warms days, nights above freezing, and some salt did the job. It was nice to see that someone salted the MUT along the main commuter route into DC.

I got in an early 43 miler so I could get Fiona and Maeve out for longish walks.
