Success
That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.
Lake Hammonasset
Lake Hammonasset, a preserve owned by the Regional Water Authority, offers a nice loop on generally non-technical trails. For a longer run it can be combined with the loop around Chatfield Hollow. To access to these trails you do require an RWA Recreation Permit. [Read more…] about Lake Hammonasset
Whiff of success
[singlepic=5293,280,200,,left]
The 3rd annual Pews (wave hand and make face) Award Ceremony was yet another outstanding success, yet not one feat of running was acknowledged, except perhaps the unselfish act of pacing. Pews (more waving of hand and grimaced expression) are giving to recognize contributions of other things, such as writing about running or being a key player in some memorable event during the year. Each award is unique and therefore highly coveted. When the awards committee say Pew (and wave they hands in front of their face) you know you’ve done something special! Thank you Iggy, Oddjob, Allstate and Forrest for hosting the fun and congratulations to Suds, recipient of the Doctor Von Award.
Chatfield Hollow
Chatfield Hollow State Park offers some great technical trails. An extension into the adjacent Lake Hammonasset preserve can double the distance. Access to Lake Hammonasset requires a Regional Water Authority recreation permit. [Read more…] about Chatfield Hollow
Greatness
