It&#8217;s fun moving up the CityStrides ranks quickly at the beginning. I went from 22nd place to 15th and doubled the percentage covered (12.14% of the streets) by knocking off a lot of short streets. The low-hanging fruit won&#8217;t last forever but it&#8217;s fun. I found a new conservation area to come back and explore (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pctland.org\/pomeroy-meadows-conservation-area\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pctland.org\/pomeroy-meadows-conservation-area\/\">Pomeroy Meadow Conservation Area<\/a>), vicariously enjoyed amazing gardens, saw tons of bunnies, and amused myself puzzling over why the years on the fence at Williston seem to be in random order (<a href=\"https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/archives\/musings-on-the-campus-fence-2\/\">answer<\/a>: it was originally tied to meeting a fundraising goal per class). The Williston gateway has a plaque for William Leonard Pitcher, class of 1891, &#8220;with the happy knack of making people feel better&#8221; (reminds me of Jonathan!) My favorite find was Wonky Owl Farm. I also spotted a bunch of mushrooms I&#8217;m pretty sure were king bolete (<em>Boletus edulis<\/em>), which I&#8217;ve always wanted to try, but they were on someone&#8217;s lawn (South Street near Glendale) so I&#8217;d need permission to pick them and I didn&#8217;t have a knife or bag anyway. Maybe I&#8217;ll get a chance to go back someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/marathon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wonk_owl.jpg\" alt=\"Wonky Owl Farm sign\" data-id=\"685\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/marathon\/?attachment_id=685\" class=\"wp-image-685\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Wonky Owl Farm sells eggs<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/marathon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bee_balm.jpg\" alt=\"Bee balm\" data-id=\"687\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/marathon\/?attachment_id=687\" class=\"wp-image-687\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Scarlet bee balm &#8211; Monarda didyma<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Date<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>(temp\/humidity)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Distance<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Avg pace\/fastest split<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>HR (avg\/highest)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tue 6\/29 (82\u00b0F\/81%)<\/td><td>3.03<\/td><td>12:22\/12:01<\/td><td>37:26<\/td><td>143\/174<\/td><td>Gave blood later that day but it didn&#8217;t have much of an effect based on subsequent numbers, yay!<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thu 7\/1 (72\u00b0F\/92%)<\/td><td>~4<\/td><td>12:06\/11:36<\/td><td>~ 48<\/td><td>139\/162<\/td><td>Runkeeper crashed at 2.5 miles; intervals<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fri 7\/2 (65\u00b0F\/96%)<\/td><td>3.01<\/td><td>12:30\/11:53<\/td><td>37:35<\/td><td>143\/163<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sun 7\/4 (56\u00b0F\/95%)<\/td><td>6.05<\/td><td>13:34\/12:49<\/td><td>1:22:09<\/td><td>144\/170<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Totals<\/strong><\/td><td>~16 miles<\/td><td><\/td><td>~3.4 hours<\/td><td><\/td><td>Weight avg 116.2, resting heart 58<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exploring Easthampton is great &#8211; I&#8217;m so glad I picked this as my challenge.
