End of August and a chance to redeem myself by finishing the Savoy long course.

Running from DAR State Forest through Chapel Falls to Bullitt Reservation with Tippi.

Run at Savoy Mountain State Forest with Tips, along the Mohican Mohawk Trail.

Got out to Savoy Mountain early, prior to the trail race, to explore a bit from North Pond over to Christodora's Manice Education Center with Tippi.

I got back to begin the 4-mile trail race with my Pop, which we completed fairly well.  We completed the event in 18th & 19th positions.

Metacomet Trail Marathon - June 23rd, 2012
West Suffield, East Granby, Bloomfield & Simsbury, CT

.

Wuzzam and I completed a Metacomet Marathon, with a time of 7:00:00.

Tippi ran the first section with us, from Route 20 to Phelps Road, and back (about 10.5-miles).

Weather report was that heating up was very possible - so the DL grabbed Tippi early.

This was my 48th marathon completed.

Our Route for the Marathon Distance.

Metacomet Trail run covering Rising Corner through to the Agawam Bowman's Club.
