Run on Mount Greylock with Dusty, roughly 14-miles in 2:36:16 (Greylock Gallop Race Course plus a bit lost heading to Cheshire).

Today was the introduction of the Wapack Trail Race, evidently a brand new event to the New England Trail Racing Series.  17.5-Miles including six-peaks to climb (in both directions):

• Barrett
• New Ipswich
• Stony Top
• Pratt
• Nutting Hill
• Watatic

I had my best trail race finish to date, despite losing the trail in the last half-mile and adding a bit of time to my clock.  13th place in 3:10:31.

Out to the Happy Valley to participate at the Mount Toby 14-Mile Trail Race.  

Finished in fine condition, and a surprising 22nd place overall, in 1:48:02.  The race is 7-Miles out, followed by the same 7-miles back, which I split between 58-minutes up, and 50-minutes down.

First time running what would become, and always be, my favorite trail running event - the magical Savoy Mountain 20-Mile Trail Race. 

This was an incredible feeling of accomplishment, to navigate through the ups-and-downs of Florida and Savoy for twenty-miles.

I completed the route in 3:32:27.

Saw David Byrne solo with Cool Cat and my Sister.

Decided to ride my Specialized Hard Rock Mountain Bicycle over the Mount Greylock Century Bike Ride.  We had decent hill challenges over Greylock, Up and Over Route 2 including the Hairpin Turn, up the Hawley Wall, as well as an abundance of steady climbs on Route 9 and Route 116.

I completed the 99.15-miles in 6:34:43.

Williamsburg (Williamsburg to Harrisburg "Burgy") 10km, finishing 3rd overall in 41:57.

Saw Neil Young at Tanglewood with Exene Cervenka opening.  Met my Sister and Cool Cat there.

My sister gave us "Louie", a cockatiel, for us to look after.

Day Two of our Savoy Mountain State Forest camping trip, some fishing at Plainfield Pond ended lucrative as we totaled 17 large perch and a big bullhead.  We ended up taking the fish to my folks and having a "fish-fry" which was attended by Tata, who polished off four perch.

Savoy Mountain State Forest camping trip with DL and Dusty.

Next up on the New England Trail Running circuit is Soapstone Mountain Half-Marathon.  I felt fairly good throughout the race, and finished well in 2:14:57.  It began to feel as though I could do this trail-running.

Vernon Rabbit Run 5-mile road run in 33:03.

New England Trail Running began for me at the 7 Sisters 12-mile trail race on the Holyoke Range.  Weather called for possible snow and ice just prior to the race, but other than it being cloudy and wet, no big problem.

This run totally wiped me out, but I finsished my first New England Trail Race in 3:03:06.

Ran the New England 20km Championship event in Pittsfield, Massachusetts today, completing the run in 1:31:23.
