Observations
This was a short comfortable run up the ridge to the top of Birch Hill and back. There was a only a little sliver of moonlight so I had a head lamp with me. There were a handful of other runners out this morning and it was very motivating to know I wasn’t the only one out there.
Next Time
This was a great combination of clothing for the temps. Wouldn’t change a thing.
