Reverser

Friday, I was in Bridgeton for work, the last real work for my old company.  That's Squirrel country now.  So I made plans to meet up with Mindy after work.  While I really want to see her local mountain run, there wasn't the time for it.  Instead we hit a little network of trails right in Bridgeton in Pondicherry Park.  I liked it immediately as we headed over a little covered bridge that reminded me of a boat; wish I had my camera with me.  It was mostly mostly gentle single-track, a good venue for relaxing after work.

Wednesday, I ran the Back Cove with Shauna.  I think it was a windy evening.  We chatted away our five miles.  I didn't have time for a full second loop.

Tuesday, I ran all Brad's mountain trails looking for any missed flags.  Just two days after the BBU, the conditions couldn't have been much different:  the trails were almost totally dry, the sky was blue, and there was lots of visibility from the summit.

The dry leaves made the trails a bit more slippery than they were race day, but I bet the racers would have taken that in order to have dry feet all day.  I ended up with 5.7 hilly miles.

Monday, I was at the Back Cove.  It was all I had time for.  5 miles.

Saturday, October 20th, the day of the inaugural Big Brad Ultras.  My alarm was set for 3am.  I woke at 2:35....next post...
