Drove out to see the folks today - excellent visit.
Stopped at Williamsburg Woodland Trails "Horse Mountain" and "White Rocks" trail network to finally run in Hatfield (the trails cross into Hatfield). Managed a great 6.3-miles.
Old Marathon News...
I was fortunate to run the 100th Boston Marathon on this day in 1996.
It was my 10th marathon completed, in a time of 3:24:14.
After Easter Dinner with DL and some household tasks, I took a trail run in Bloomfield and Simsbury at Laurel Hill and the Frederick C. Bidwell Forest Area, with a bit of Metacomet (New England Trail) thrown in.
Rambled through most of the trail system but missed a few sections.
Finished with 3.9-miles on the trail.
Walked Lily for 1-mile late afternoon.
The Old Goat picked me up for a pair of reasons...
We needed to gps the tee's and basket's at a disc golf course he is involved with in Orange, MA.
I figured since we would be in an area where I had some town's to run in, we could snag a 6-mile jog through some sort of wooded area I had never been in before.
Success with both events. Ran first on the bank of the Quabbin through a portion of New Salem and Petersham for 6.1-miles.
Completed the field work at the Disc Golf Course easily enough after the run.
2023 Unsupported "Non" Trail Race Unofficial Challenge #8
Hartford Reservoirs 12.9-Km (8-Miler)
Picked up the Metacomet (the New England Trail) at Route 44, just below Hartford Reservoir #6, and headed south past Reservoirs #2 and #3 along the NET.
Knocked off a Town I hadn't previously run in (Farmington), and snapped some photos at Kilkenny Rocks which were really neat.
Ended with 7.9-miles on the gps, easily under 2 hrs (averaged 4.5 mph according to the device).
