Expedition

I did a lot of work on Saturday to free myself up for another try at the Springfield graticule after last weekend's disappointment. Sunday morning I drove down to the little village of Scio, with the hope of running 6 miles, a little further than I've managed the last few months. I immediately crossed one of their attractive covered bridges, then headed east on Highway 226 to Richardson Gap Road. Another attractive covered bridge was closed for construction there, but I was able to cross the creek on a temporary construction structure, and then continue north a few hundred meters to... an epic hill. Although the run was going well, I had to walk this stretch. Once the slope evened out, I turned my tracker back on and turned west onto Ridge Road, then south onto Brock Drive, which took me right to the hashpoint. After the usual celebrations, I ran the rest of the way back to Scio, ending at 6.12 miles, which I was happy with.

Back at the car, I changed my shirt and got on my bike, which I rode on a different route, but went back over the hashpoint again just for fun.

And then I drove home!
