Northern Nipmuck Trail Marathon

November 20th, 2005 - Union & Ashford, Connecticut

Completed my 32nd marathon distance run today at a Northern Nipmuck Trail Marathon, with Wuzzam, Summer, and Tippi (6th completed marathon).  My finish time was recorded as 6:28:18.  Looking at this, I think it was much further than 26 miles.

Weekly Weigh In while involved with the 61-Day Challenge - 206.4 lbs.

Visit the folks from morning to early afternoon, and then a return to the Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts via Mt Greylock.

Completed 7.2-miles up the Cheshire Harbor, along the AT, down Rockwell Road to the Gould Trail.
