Holiday trail run -- Mon, Oct 9

Was not sure whether I had time to run, but Mark called and so I took that as a sign. We met at 5 pm at Holland Glen; limited time but safe for an hour of good daylight. Started up the glen, feeling great, looped down and crossed 9 onto the M & M, then joined the old rail trail and followed it (with minor road sections) to WW road end of bike trail, then up WW to Orchard, the slow hill back up toward the town lakes. Gorgeous foliage and evening light the whole time. Took a right on Federal to go round the lake and then rejoin rail trail and back to M&M and the cars. Great fun, just right for time and distance. Then Mark joined us for pumpkin pie and tea -- a nice finish.

Time: 1:07:09
Speed: 6.6 mph
Distance: 7.41 miles

Comment: felt great, with a very mild pace and nicely varied inclinations and surfaces. Must do this one again.
