At around half past ten, we locked the door and drove to our new destination, again eastward bound. The traffic in New Jersey was heavy, but it got even heavier in New York State and Connecticut, where we got stuck in traffic. We arrived at our hotel in Milford, CT, one hour later than planned. After quickly unloading the car and settling in, we relaxed by having a drink, enjoying some leftovers, and taking it easy.

The next day, after three years, we reconnected with the Atlantic Ocean. Not on Fripp Island, Beaufort, SC, but in Milford, CT, at Silver Sands State Park. The park was redeveloped from a residential area to a nature reserve with marshland and dunes after Hurricane Diane destroyed the houses in 1955.

Running Miles on the Beaver Brook Trail
Just a half-mile stroll from the hotel, I found the perfect place to do my run, the Beaver Brook trail. The boardwalk and trail surface gave this cushiony landing; thankfully, it had no sneaky roots to trip me up. And the pond was beautiful as well. It made working out early in the morning even more enjoyable.
