High Bridge run

One of my favorite places to run in Northern New Jersey is the Columbia Trails out in High Bridge. The full run is a 14 mile out and back on a nicely shaded, loose gravel path. It is so well shaded that even on a hot day like Saturday, it comfortable to run on.

It was our team's first proper run of the season, after last week's kickoff. We had a great turnout of at least 20 people, doing up to 7 miles, at all different sorts of paces. I went out with speedy Steve, and come back at a nice and easy with Cheryl and Danielle. And in between, we had plenty of runners who were going further than they had ever run before.
