Running to Racoon Ridge with My Friend, Dan
Cairn City – Appalachian Trail, Delaware Water Gap, NJ
This wondrous sight is located along the Appalachian Trail in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It’s about two miles in on the trail off I-80 in New Jersey, around halfway to Sunfish Pond.

The water is not usually there. This video was made the day after heavy rains.
Washington Boro 5K
My grandson and I ran the Washington Boro 5K again. The first time we ran it was back in 2013. (There is a blog post about that here.) That was his first 5K. This time with a little more experience under his belt, he was more focused. He won first place in his age group. I won second place in my age group. This year the race was held at Meadow Breeze Park in Washington Township rather than in the actual Boro of Washington, which was kind of a bummer. But Meadow Breeze was where I ran my very first 5K in 2011 after getting serious about my health and losing 40 pounds. (See “I Ran My First 5K Today!”)
