Hallockville Pond - Mt Institute Marathon

July 18th, 2008 - Hawley, Massachusetts

I completed the Hallockville Pond - Mt Institute Marathon with Wuzzam and Tippi.  

The 25+ miles were completed in 5:29:07, and ended with a dip in Hallockville Pond.  

This was my 38th completed marathon and Tippi's 12th.

Tippi and I explored a nice long run through Hawley and into Charlemont, hitting the Berkshire East area, Mt Institute, Dodge Corner, and over to Forget Road.

Met up with the British Hillbilly at Cambridge's Middle East to have our mind's melted by the Warlocks and Black Angels...  unbelievable show!

Exploring and enjoying Holcomb Farm area with Tippi.

One more time in McLean, with Tippi.
