August is now here, and we’ve had relatively dry weather for quite some time now (the incoming tropical storm remnants notwithstanding). Earlier this spring, COVID-19 and wet spring weather forced the closure of the Long Trail as well as many popular hiking destinations. Thankfully, we are all able to enjoy the outdoors a little more now if we are responsible.
While some teams have taken trips recently to the Presidential Range in NH, the suggestion this week is to keep it within our state, supporting the local economy while also checking out some great trails in the area. The Masters workout this week is to get in a traditional hike, or even a trail run, on a big mountain!
