seems like your blessed with lots of different runs where you live, I have been there for a summer vacation but my hobby then was golfing. I remember how beautiful it was maybe one day we can head that way for a family vacation. A run with you would be a must.

This is definitely a nice vacation spot for family. Would love for you guys to spend some time out this way...and yes, a run would be a must.

How'd you end up in Litchfield? Did you know someone or just stumble upon it?

By the way, their annual road race is an incredible event. It's right up there with Boston when it comes to enthusiasm and excitement. If you do make it out this way, it'd be worth overlapping your time with the race.

we had friends from New York that rented for the summer so they had us come and visit them. Julian our first who is 7 now was not even 1 at the time. I golfed everyday and my running was every other day 20 minutes if that. They had a nice place on the lake, lots fun and probably the best golf I have ever played, lots of low 70's. I would rather be a runner than a golfer now though. Couple years away from Litchfield, Elliot who is 2 is CRAZY, so no long car rides. I have a vision that I will see you at the finish line next year at Boston, we will both be under 3 and will plan a spot!! Have a good night, 6 girls now that is way beyond sub 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it.
