Conway, Massachusetts holds it's "Festival of the Hills" each fall, and with it a 10km Road Race called the "Conway Covered Bridge 10K".

I managed an 8th place finish, but better than that I dipped under 40-minutes for the first time in my running life:  39:25.

A new trail race today, the Northfield Mountain 10Km.  I managed to run 41:53 over the 6.2-miles, good for 11th place.

My second attempt at the Wapack Trail Race, 17.5-Miles including six-peaks to climb (in both directions):

I had a really great race, 9th place in 2:55:11.

North Pond Loop with Dusty, covered 4-miles.

Third decent adventure run in a row with Dusty, this time from Notchview Reservation to Windsor State Forst (Windsor Jambs), totaling 9-miles in 1:48:01.

Ran the first section of Savoy Mountain with Dusty (from North Pond Recreational Area to Upper East Hoosic Street crossing and back) for a great 10-mile run.

Ran Mt Greylock with Dusty for 9-miles in 1:48:16.

For this Savoy Mountain 20-Mile Trail Race, I was much more confident and improved.  I finished in 3:06:57. 

DL, Dusty and I navigated around South Pond and Tyler Swamp today, enjoying our stay at the Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground.

DL, Dusty and I drove out to Savoy Mountain State Forest for three-days of camping and relaxation.  We placed the canoe in North Pond to try our luck with the stocked trout but only caught small pout (Bullhead).

Last day of our camping trip, we made the most of it as DL, Dusty and I managed to hike up the Indian Trail to the saddle between Clark and Todd Mountains.

Rain throughout the night upon our tent, but we stayed dry enough in the Mohawk Trail State Forest's large, tall white pine.   

Drove into Shelbourne Falls to run the Bridge of Flowers 10km (42:13), and we swam in the Glacial Potholes at Salmon Falls afterward.
