I Run

As I drove to the second Red Clover Fun Run of the year last night, I passed a kiosk to a trail head on Upper Dummerston Rd. I hadn't seen that before so I parked the car, signed up for the race, then ran back down to the trail head. The kiosk contained a map of the Retreat Trail recreation network. I'd read about these trails in the Brattleboro Reformer some months ago but forgot they were there. So for my warm up I ran part of the Ice Pond Trail, which starts out in a cornfield then enters woods where it meanders over rocks, brooks, and hillocks. I didn't get too far until I had to turn back to make it back in time for the race. But maybe this weekend I'll explore the trails some more. As for the race itself, I ran a 20:37. At the first one (two weeks ago) I ran a 20:25.
