Back to Conewago
This morning I met up with Mark Rebuck at the Conewago Trail near Elizabethtown for a 5 miler. This is by far my favorite place to run. I love the sound of the crunching cinders underfoot, and the trees and stream add some nice visual variety.
The run went well, we averaged about a 9:30 pace and I didn’t have any leg trouble. This was my furthest run by about 1.25 miles in a while. After the run Mark headed back up the trail to add on a bit more. I was tempted to join him at first but realized that would be pretty dumb so just walked back to my car and stretched.
There are definitely some advantages to not running as far these days. I didn’t have to worry at all about making sure I had appropriate energy bars/gels/fluids, etc since I knew we would be back in well under an hour and it wasn’t hot out.

You forgot to mention the nearly PERFECT fall weather! For that kind of weather, it was worth getting up early on a Saturday :-).

Awesome man! Congrats!
I am jealous. I can’t wait to get back to a 5 miler.
