Hawley Dubuque / Berkshire East Marathon
June 1st, 2013 - Hawley & Charlemont, Massachusetts

I completed my 51st marathon - Hawley Berkshire East.  I had Wuzzam with me for this one, which was a real beast. 

We had a total time on feet of 7:45:15, which was the longest either of us have ever been on our feet moving through the forest.  It was most likely more than a marathon distance.  By several miles...  (or more).

Long run in Charlemont and Hawley, in Dubuque State Forest and Berkshire East.

Exploring the trails in Charlemont, at Berkshire East.

Running along on Holcomb Farm Trails.
