I ran a longer than anticipated trails and roads run from Gordon College yesterday with Nate Hausman and Nathan Landis. We cut through the Gordon Woods on the dirt road out to Chebacco Road and ran east to Manchester-Essex Woods. Ran the Ancient Line to Old Essex Road and then came out on Andrews Street in Essex, we turned and went back in and then headed toward Bishop's Grave. We ended up on some beautiful single track that I didn't remember ever running, but I haven't been in there as much since I left Gordon in 2015. We came out on the road again on the corner of Apple St and School Street in Essex and realized if we wanted to be anywhere close to our goal of 1:30-1:40 we better get on the road and hustle back. Ended up ducking back into the woods once more off Essex St. in Hamilton and ran 13 in 1:50. Definitely Nate's longest run in some time.
Today, after the few inches of snow that fell last night, I did a little under 5 miles at a little over 7:00/mi.
Second week in a row over 40 miles, which is a trend in the right direction heading into a new year.
