Happy Alpaca Farm Day!

This morning we loaded into cars for the last long workout of September, a combo classic rollerski and run, and headed out to Pownal. Though it was a little cold and foggy at school, by the time we reached the loop and parked on a dirt side-road, it had turned into a beautiful morning. As soon as we stepped out of the cars to get our rollerskiing gear on, we were enthusiastically greeted by six golden retrievers from the farm across the street. When the owner of the farm had to call them back to get them out of the road, she also told us that it was National Alpaca Farm Day, so the farm was open if we wanted to visit. Unfortunately, due to the time constraints, we had to decline her offer, and headed out to ski.

After the girls finished the rollerski portion of the workout, we headed up the dirt road towards the hills for our run, and ended up breaking out into a large field with a beautiful view of the surrounding hills. We found our way back through the maze of ATV trails with no wrong turns, caught a few leaves falling from the trees while running, and ended the workout back at the cars, where we were pleasantly surprised by a delicious lemon-glazed birthday cake for Isaac (Thank you!). All in all, a great early fall day in the Berkshires!
Basically just like the Sound of Music
