What Played in Ed's Head --
Music listened to for the time-period April 1st through April 30th, 2022:
Spent the morning presenting to the Connecticut Water Environment Association, CWPAA and CAWPCA 2022 Management Leadership Course.
On this day in 2006, I completed a Metacomet Marathon with my dog Tippi; it was just us.
By 2005, most of my running turned toward exploring and mapping routes through the forest of Western Massachusetts and North Central Connecticut, with an emphasis on picking out ways to connect big tracks of land, and turn them into runs of marathon length.
2022 Unsupported Trail Race Fall Challenge #1
Penwood State Park 10k (6.4-miles)
I have run this loop many times over the past 30 years, but I am not sure I have a great many times recorded. This is ok with me, as I am just getting back to "normal" running after close to 5-months away.
I have it in my head that under 90-minutes is respectable for this loop, and I can recall a few finishes in the 95-minute range. Today went much better than expected, with a GPS timed 1:22 and change for 6.4-miles, so I will call it 1:23:00 (I don't read seconds on my gps).
Course from Wintonbury, out on the Blue Blazed Metacomet (New England Trail) to the main parking area, and back on the Yellow Trail.
