Still piecing the Granville & Tunxis Marathon distances together, so today I wanted to verify the section from Old Route 20 (Maybe called Walnut Hill?) to Route 219.  This has always been thought of as 8-miles, and I am sure that I've verified this many times in the past, but once more wouldn't hurt.

Everything worked exactly as it seemed, distances were true to the Connecticut Walk Book and my prior notes.  The turn-a-round at Route 219 had 7.95-miles on the gps.

A few alternate paths were chosen for the return trip, and I ended with 15.2-miles for the day.

During the evening, DL and I visited Gateway City Arts in Holyoke to hear the band X, which has been a favorite of ours for over 30-years.  Taking the event up a notch, our old friend RunSteveo was attending also - someone we hadn't seen in many years.

The band played fantastically, and the venue was great (capacity of around 500, which was full).

It was great to see Steveo, and as far as the venue at Gateway City Arts, we'd visit again.
