Morning Run Around Northampton
Early Run with Alison
On Tuesday morning I met Alison at 6:30 a.m. on the campus for an easy 8 mile run. I was looking forward to the run to hear about the 5k race she ran the day before. I also enjoy her company and enjoy learning new routes to run.
We ran a nice pace starting off on the cross country course and heading up to the community gardens. Once we left the trails we ran on the roads for about four miles before heading onto another trail that parallels a stream that enters onto the main campus. When we returned to our starting point we added on another two big loops around the athletic fields to make our run about 65 minutes.
The run was really nice. I got to hear all about Alison's 5k race which was awesome. I am really looking forward to more runs with Alison. She is great company and knows the area very well and knows a lot about running.
The team had practice in the afternoon. They were scheduled for an 8 mile run. Due to my upcoming weekend race I did not think it would be wise for me to do a second run even though I was really tempted to be out there with them. Instead I got their team uniforms ready for the upcoming weekend meet.
