Old Marathon News...
Conway Covered Bridge Marathon - October 13th, 2012
Conway & Goshen, Massachusetts
On this day in 2012, Wuzzam and I ran the Conway Covered Bridge Marathon. We had Ned and his daughter's dog with us for the first 10-miles or so, and they were good company.
The idea for the run had been with me for a while, but what sealed it was Farmer Tom was doing a group trail ride through the woods from either Berkshire East or South Face, to the Covered Bridge in Conway.
We would start running in the opposite direction of the bikes, beginning at the St. Mark's Church parking area (we hoped to start running on an hour but we found out the church bells haven't been active for many years). We immediately crossed the Burkeville Covered Bridge and we were soon into Conway State Forest.
Highlights of the run included:
- Cricket Hill
- Joe Herrick Gulf
- Smith Hill
- Bullitt Reservation
- Chapel Falls & Ledge/Pony Cliffs
- Moore Hill and the Firetower
On the drive out to retrieve our two aid station drops, we ran into the mountain bike group crossing West Road exiting the DAR State Forest onto the Chapel Falls Trail toward Conway State Forest.
An excellent day!

4-Miles Cowles.
On this day in 2013, Tippi and I ran a DAR State Forest Marathon in 6:10:00. This was my 50th completed marathon, and Tippi's 17th and final marathon finish. She ran some decent distances after this one, for a couple years, but nothing over 20-miles.
We began in Goshen, at the Daughter's of American Revolution State Forest, and ran out to Bullet Reservation, and back. Had a nice stop along the way at Chapel Ledge and Chapel Falls.

Hartford Marathon
October 1, 1994 - Hartford, Connecticut
October 1, 1994 - Hartford, Connecticut
Ran through the 1st Hartford Marathon today in ~3:16:00. My father ran the 5km, my Mom and DL came along to cheer us on. The finish-time is only six-minutes off a Boston Qualifying Time for my age divsion (sub 3:10). I feel confident going forward I can reach the qualifying standard.
