Weekend Update
The Pittsfield Peaks race was this past Sunday. I ran 37 miles and then called it quits. My legs were quite stiff from insufficient training and I was ready to call it a day. I enjoyed the scenary and felt much better than last year. I thought I would be ok dropping out but now I wish I finished. This will be a good lesson to remember.
On Sunday I hiked with a friend on the Long Trail for 15 miles. It was a remarkable day. We spent 7 hours on the trail. One high light was carrying the dogs up a ladder that was along the trail. There was no other way for the dogs to go so I put the dog under my arm and climbed up the ladder. It was quite the adventure.

Mary,
Sorry that the race didn't go the way you planned. There is so much more to the DNF than the physicality of it, you know. You have to answer to your mind as well. I hope you find peace with your decision.
Your Long Trail hike looks great, including the puppy pics!
Recover well,
Meghan
