This morning Sharon and I went running on the Lancaster Junction trail near our house
It was 41 degrees, overcast and misty, but very good running weather.
Sharon wore her new shoes!
We kept it slow to avoid injuries. I tracked our jog on Endomondo, which recorded some massive altitude changes. Strange. I doubt there is a change in elevation greater than five feet on the course. Maybe the GPS satellite was bouncing? We started at the little red line at the bottom, then ran north on the blue line to almost Colebrook Road, then back.
This trail is the rail bed of the Reading and Columbia Railroad, which started in 1863, and was abandoned in 1985. It transported coal, iron ore, general merchandise, and passengers.
Below is a map in larger context, showing the coal fields up north.
We passed a field that was filled with Diakon Radish. If this isn't being grown for food, then this field is getting a massive biological plowing job, as those radishes dig their huge tap roots deep down into the soil. You can read about this cover crop here. It's important not to fall behind in your radish-related reading.
