Wolfe's Neck Weekend

Friday morning, I headed out for a run along the powerlines. An overcast but cool morning, filled with pinks and purples. Nice and easy after Thursday's long run, and followed up by a lovely massage from my friend Lauren. Ahhh! (5.6 miles) Then, after some cleaning and packing, it was off to Wolfe's Neck for our annual camping weekend with friends. 





This is the 6th year we've gathered at Wolfe's Neck to camp for a long weekend at the end of August. This year, 25 years after we started at Bowdoin, I feel incredibly lucky to be able to spend time with and still be in touch with such great friends, as we spend the weekend eating, running, laughing, enjoying the sunrises, sunsets and moonrises, sitting around the campfires together, and in general just enjoying being together 💗 Always a good time!

On Saturday morning, a big group of us went out for a run, doing a short loop in the park and then running down along Flying Point out past Joan's house, through the fields and along the ocean. Tired miles are always better with friends and it was great to spend time chatting away as we ran along :) (10.0 miles)

Sunday was a much needed rest day as I hit 50.2 miles for the week, but this morning, I headed out solo around 6:45 am to enjoy the park trails and run the newly worked on trail running along the backside of the farm property. A good mix of rooty trails and gravel roads to start off the week and finish up a great weekend of camping! (6.2 miles)
