Running under the Hunger Moon on Turkey Mountain

DSCN3039

Earlier this week a group of us met after work on Turkey Mountain under a full moon. It is supposed to be called the Snow Moon but there was no snow so I used the alternate name “The Hunger Moon.” So called because the hunting was pretty bad in February way back when.

It got kind of dark but we turned on our headlights and ranĀ for a little over three and a half miles. The group runs for a while and then stops every now and then to let everybody get back together before we head off again. Nobody wants to leave anybody stranded on the mountain at night. Night running can be quite disorienting especially if you are not familiar with the trails.

A good time was had by all and we didn’t lose anybody. Especially the old guy who took the picture.
