Battle Road in Lincoln. I was so looking forward to seeing the "Red Coats" but that was not in the cards as half the trails were closed for maintenance. A little yellow tape here or there would never stop us though; just made the run more like an obstacle course.
We set out thinking this would be our biggest run of the training period; a whopping 12 miles. Something got a little messed up as we seemed to go in 3 directions. Our group was looking for the light colored house with the crossed guns on the side. It seemed like we went too far but actually didn't go far enough by about a half mile.
The return was just as nice....Historic homes, farms, birds, marshland, wooded and open trails, wood paths, a tunnel and old rock walls. One of the things I enjoyed was not being able to see too far ahead so you didn't really know how far you had left to run. In fact, Cindy and I came upon the parking lot and couldn't believe we were back. We thought we had another mile and a 1/2 to go.
With a mix of sites, smells and sounds this was definitely the most beautiful, peaceful run I've ever experienced so far. I'm going back for sure. Somehow I must've missed that field trip as a kid.
