Xmas eve long run

One of my favorite places to run is Ashley Pond in Holyoke. A gravel trail around a beautiful reservoir, with no sign of traffic, large trees and plenty of bird songs. Its easy to forget that your are actually in Holyoke. I even heard a pileated woodpecker! I am beginning to rebuild my running endurance, running for about 70 mins, 7 1/2 or so miles. A great way to start off the holidays.
