On this day in 2005, Tippi and I ran the Savoy General Store Marathon.  It was lengthy, over 29-miles I believe.  From Haskins Road to the General Store, which brought us all the way over to Windsor Jambs, we had the company of "Max", a friendly dog we picked up at Loop & Haskins intersection.

Oddly, each time we came to an intersection on the trail, "Max" knew which way we were planning on turning (even though he lead).  He managed this for 9 - 10 miles.

Total for the day was roughly 29.30-miles in 6:17:52.  It was my 27th completed marathon, and Tippi's 3rd.  After finishing, I met Jane Phinney in the Savoy Town Offices;  she was the Savoy Town Clerk and is the author of  "Taking the High Road".

Notes from the day include: Cool day with Big Sun, stayed in the 70's.  Felt fine through Tannery Falls Area, but Ross Brook and the Balanced Rock Section were a bit of a struggle.  Rebounded well after that until Windsor Jambs.  Tired but decent until the climb out of the Jambs to Griffin Road, which was a chore despite being mostly downhill.
