Dirt Road Running 52:31 [3] 5.2 mi (10:06 / mi) +232ft 9:41 / mi

An easy run from New Lenox Road to Woods Pond and then home. Colette dropped me off in Lenox as she had to go shopping in Pittsfield.

Nice pleasant run as it was all without much traffic and in the shade.

Had to help a semi truck driver, who was headed to Woods Pond, until I flagged him down and told him that there was nothing there to deliver to. A quick check of his GPS, which had sent him that way, showed that he wanted to be on the other side of the Housatonic River. :-)

Trail Running 34:31 [3] 1.0 mi (34:31 / mi)

Walk with Colette to the south of Richmond Mountain Road in Lenox--across the street from where I normally park to do the Monks Pond loop.

I had explored that area a few days ago and mentioned the cairns in the brook that visitors to Kripalu have erected in the brook that drains Monk Pond.

It turns out, as we discovered during the hike, that the land is owned by the Berkshire Natural Resources Council and consists of some old forest with towering pine trees. I had run through the area some years ago, and it is a splendid area, albeit rather small.

I'm thinking of putting on a run in the area, and I would like to include this area, if at all possible as part of the route.
