A little warm and just after the rain had fallen, the 3.7-miles along the Metacomet Trail south from Phelps Road was a welcome today. It felt really good to enjoy the woods and loose my mind for a little bit of time.
The forest has really "greened up" since last week
Old News Department...
On this day in 1997 I completed my 14th marathon - Nipmuck. It was the 3rd time I completed Nipmuck, and my time was 4:31:44, good enough for 42nd place.
Also, on this day in 2013, I completed my 49th marathon - Hawley Berkshire East. I had Wuzzam with me for this one, which was a real beast. We had a total time on feet of 7:45:15, which was the longest either of have ever been on our feet moving through the forest. It was most likely more than a marathon distance. By several miles... (or more).
In the way-back department, from June 1st, 2002 (sixteen big years if you want me to do the math), a group of Adams-Boys and a few others tackled a long run on Greylock. By the look of the pictures, I can recreate out steps... it was a longish day judging by the snapshots.
