It's been a long wait for the calf / achilles to heal, but today I was determined to see how things felt.  I chose Unquomonk Reservoir area to tie up loose ends from earlier this month.

The lower leg felt just fine, and I rambled on for 8.9-miles.  Beautiful day, around 60-degrees and sunny.  I need to further explore the "Big View" area of Williamsburg Woodland Trails, and the remainder of the trails out to Route 143 went fantastically.  I was even able to use both the old path from Rt 143 to the Gravel Road at the Gun Club as well as the newer version.  It was nice to match up some old gps tracks from long ago.

I'll need to finalize the last 15-miles of the planned Bullitt Reservation to Route 9 Snack Bar Marathon.  The next 3 or 4 weeks hopefully will give me time as well as decent weather.
