20 Miles, 10 Miles

The additional few days' rest while my finger healed was a boon to my knee too: last week's daily runs went well and I was able to complete 30 miles in two runs over the weekend!

On Saturday, I ran the complete loop of Trail Around Middlebury, 18 miles of woods, fields and town, then added two more miles of woods at the end. The sun was gorgeous and unusually warm for November in Vermont, but the thick carpet of leaves on the trail is unmistakably late fall. (The trail was hard to follow in some places for all the leaves!)

On Sunday, I ran closer to home through Salmon Hole, Intervale and Ethan Allen Park. The late afternoon light disappeared on the way home.
