McLean after work, really nice day in the high forties and sunny.  Ran from Firetown Road to Simsbury Road along the Firetown Trail, totaled 3.6-miles for the day (Firetown from end-to-end measured out at 1.7-miles).

Wandered down the bank after the run to take in the Northgate Falls, which are always refreshing to observe.

Old Marathon Reflections,  This day in 1997... 

Looking back in time, I completed my 13th marathon on this day in 1997.  It was the Grupa Dupa held at the Talcott Mountain State Park, home of the Hueblin Tower.  I believe Tony Weisgram and Janice Kuhl were the organizers of this "Fat Ass 50" type event.  I recall it consisted of loops up and around the tower, but I do not recall how many.  It was 50k, and I recorded a time of 5:11:13.
