Back to the Tunxis in Burlington, again from Scoville Road and Lamson Corner. I wanted to connect to the Harry C. Barnes Memorial Nature Center via the Nature Trail Connector.
Another great morning with weather, stuck in the seventies and limited humidity. I finished finding my way 'round, totaling 8.1-miles.
From the Archives: Curly's Marathon was held in Pittsfield State Forest on this day in 2008, and it was a beautiful day to run. I made the mistake of wearing old shoes rather than a new pair I had just purchased, and it was a very poor decision.

The pain in my feet and lower legs was incredible for the last 6 or 8 miles, and I was lucky to finish in 5:54:36.
This was my 40th completed marathon. My dad ran the Half-Marathon option as well.
Additionally, More from the Archives:
Dunbar - Whitcomb - Jambs Marathon for Wuzzam and I on this day in 2014.

Wuzzam and I conquered Dunbar-Whitcomb-Jambs in 6:21:34. This
expanded from an old run the Bandit and I did on a few occasions, from Whitcomb Summit to
Windsor Jambs.
This time, we began at Dunbar Brook in Monroe State Forest, and ventured out a new snowmobile trail to the windmills to Whitcomb Summit, over Crum Hill, over Flat Rock Hill and the old Viewing Platform for the Hoosac Tunnel, crossed the Cold River on an obscure grown in path, past Savoy Mountain State Forest at North Pond, past Bog Pond, over Lewis Hill and Borden Mountain, through Windsor Bush into Windsor State Forest and the Jambs.
Outstanding day with outstanding sunny weather. This was my 54th completed marathon.
