Up early for the drive to Kent/Sharon, and it was warm and humid even with the early 8 a.m. start. The goal was to run the Appalachian Trail from Route 4 (my furthest southern point completed thus far) through the Housatonic River Walk section until the trail jumps off the "old road" and into the woods climbing St. John's Ledges and Caleb's Peak.
It was a wonderful section of trail, with the bits climbing Silver Hill great beast in both directions. The Housatonic River section, roughly 5-miles each direction, were incredibly scenic and easy running. I completed the day once again drenched in sweat, with 13.3-miles on my legs.
