A day after arriving in Enfield, CT, we checked out the Windsor Locks Canal State Park Trail just across the Connecticut River from the hotel where we are staying. The path was just what I needed: a paved towpath along an old canal with a totally flat grade, perfect for a nice run. I still had to mind my steps, though, since the surface was uneven in some spots.
Today’s goal was a 50-minute workout! It felt easy when I started at a gentle pace. The steep climbs of the last few weeks must have made my legs stronger than I thought; I unintentionally broke my 5K personal best!
