On this day in 2012, Wuzzam and I completed a Metacomet Marathon, with a time of 7:00:00.
Tippi ran the first section with us, from Route 20 to Phelps Road, and back (about 10.5-miles).
3.5-miles on the Metacomet (NET) from Route 20 North, and back.
Heavy Rain infiltrated basement through window (faulty rain drain above).
And, a blast from the past.....
Having been born in 1962, and liking and listening to music from the early sixties onward, I thought it might be fun to attempt a listing of my favorite albums each year since birth.

Fourteenth-Day as a Consultant / Contractor.
Suffield 5km Course #2 for 2024.
Tonight is the opening night of the Official Yearly Race Series, but due to a split-shift of consulting (#11) I figured I'd do another DIY Version.
Warm and Sunny, 11 a.m. (high 70's to low 80's); 25:55.
Still being careful with the right achilles tendon.
1st loop in 12:30 and 2nd loop in 13:25.
Times for my Race Against Myself (plus official events) at this location:
Visit Mom, Visit with Pop at the Center, as it is Father's Day!
With the trips through North Adams, including Blackington, Greylock, etc, I saw reminders of the first few years of my life, as this is where I lived at my Grandparents Home.
I did not realize this section as a "whole" is being referred to as "the West End". It makes sense.
Here are a few images to celebrate "the West End".
