Sun 7/28 - AM 2:10

Northfield/Winchester, starting with a run up and across the NMH ridge, then on to Burt Hill followed by the Schofield Mtn. loop before heading up Bolton Road to the TV tower. First foray beyond the 2 hour mark of the summer and not coincidentally first time up Schofield Mtn. road this summer as well. Much better overall than previous Sunday runs in this locale, with better conditions having a fair amount to do with it. Brief stop at around 45 minutes and a much longer break at around 80 to soak in the Ashuelot at the covered bridge. I was quickly reminded why I'd been avoiding Schofield loop, long grinding climb up to Beau Mont and then thudding down the other side. Moving relatively well up the final ascent and felt like I was running within myself, if only just. Not a lot of issues from the right leg, not that the pace ever got to the point where it was problematic anyway.
