Hello All - Checking in from down in Newtown. Sully - how long is the Chesire trail? From the link it looks like maybe a 5.1 mile section and a 2.9 mile section for 8 miles? Is that right or is more complete nowadays? I too am training for NYC in Nov and would LOVE to get some non-hilly, non-traffic miles in.

I've done 6 miles out and back for 12 but I know a guy who starts from the Hamden side and gets 20 miles in.

roccapriore where in the area do you run? I am looking for some new routes for my semi-regular running group to try.

I live in the Morris Cove / East Shore area (right off Exit 50 on 95N).. so that's where I run. I usually go through East Shore park, down to Lighthouse Point, then around the airport.. if I'm going on a longer run I'll take the shore line area into East Haven. I cracked a rib a few weeks ago.. so that has put quite the damper on my running.. but I'm going to show up at the road race on Monday and hope for the best. I'll be the guy clutching his side for most of the race.

Hey all not sure how active this sub group is but I am from Colchester and work in Simsbury. I run at work on the weekdays (AM) and at home on teh weekends (Airline Trail). Just finished the HArtford Half and the Manchester Road Race. Hope people check in.

Hello, fellow CT residents! Simsbury checking in, born and raised in Southington. I spend a lot of time running on the Simsbury/Avon/Farmington rail trail. Brady, you've probably seen me after work. Big grin

This forum looks pretty quiet. It'd be cool to see it pick up.

MTB I run from Dyno Nobel (Ensign Bickford) north past Iron horse in the morning from 6-7, and found a new route heading south to Weatogue then up to Bushy Hill and down to the high school. But I only run in the mornings at work. But its a great trail.

Hey, I'm from Vernon! I run (read: jog very slowly) on the rail trail here in Vernon. It's nice and flat and shady in the summer Smile . I was registered for the Manchester Road Race and was a big fat DNS this year because my dog is sick and can't be left alone. I have run it twice before. My goal is to someday make it in under an hour (last time was 1:01:05), so that should tell you how slow I am. But that hill is a KILLER! Would love for this CT group to pick up. I need LOTS of motivation!

Looks like the new influx added some new blood here - maybe we can get some more activity going amongst us !

I'm in Milford myself, and I run with the Milford Road Runners down here / there - anyone else running with a local club?
