Nipmuck Trail Marathon

September 30th, 2012 - Ashford, Connecticut

Completed my 9th Nipmuck Marathon today, as well as my 49th overall marathon.

I finished in a respectable 4:46:30, good for 28th place overall.

Nipmuck Trail Run with Tippi.

Running around Berkshire East' new set of trails...  roughly 9-miles.

Completed an 8 or 9-mile trail run with Tippi in Conway State Forest.

Exploring at Reed Brook Preserve in Florida, Massachusetts with Tippi.  

Finished the day with a stop along Route 2 (the Mohawk Trail) at Berkshire Natural Resource Council's lower parking area for the beginning of the Mohican-Mohawk Trail and climbed up to the Western Summit area.

Out to Conway State Forest with Tippi for around 14-miles.

DL left JC, Tippi and I off at Bullitt Reservation so that we could run from there to DAR State Forest.

End of August and a chance to redeem myself by finishing the Savoy long course.

Running from DAR State Forest through Chapel Falls to Bullitt Reservation with Tippi.

Run at Savoy Mountain State Forest with Tips, along the Mohican Mohawk Trail.

Got out to Savoy Mountain early, prior to the trail race, to explore a bit from North Pond over to Christodora's Manice Education Center with Tippi.

I got back to begin the 4-mile trail race with my Pop, which we completed fairly well.  We completed the event in 18th & 19th positions.
