After last weekend's brief exposure to the Bear Hole Reservoir in West Springfield, and the understanding that the small, yellow BH10K "buttons" were for an official 10Km Trail Race during the fall, I figured I'd go run the 6.2-mile loop.

The morning was cool, low forties, and the parking area wasn't very populated when I arrived (only 4 cars).  I headed out and really enjoyed the day.

I lost the "buttons" twice, so by the time I retraced to verify I understood the correct trail segments, I had completed 7.9-miles.  The calf muscle felt pretty darn good, but I did take it somewhat slow and easy.
