Mahican Mohawk Marathon
August 15th, 2014
Florida, Savoy & Charlemont, Massachusetts

Mohawk, Savoy, Florida Marathon for Wuzzam and I.

Wuzzam and I ran the Mahican Mohawk Marathon in 6:43:30.  We began and ended at Mohawk Trail State Forest in Charlemont, along the bank of the Cold River.  Our turn-around or midpoint was roughly at North Pond at Savoy Mountain State Forest in Savoy / Florida.

This was my 53rd completed marathon.

Today I spent some time along the Metacomet Trail in East Granby, CT.  This would be a trial run for my upcoming Connecticut Forest and Park Ridgerunner duties, where I am assigned to Penwood State Park.

Took a bit of a drive today, visiting Conway State Forest in a favorite Hill-Town of Western Massachusetts.
