2 1/2 DAYS ON THE NPT
I have obsessed over the Northville-Placid Trail (NPT) for the last few years. 133 miles of lakes, forests, mud and bugs cutting through the heart of the Adirondacks. Last summer I attempted to run the trail from the north with support from friends and family to feed and encourage me. After 96 miles I had to stop due mostly to blistered feet from the very wet trail. It’s tough to organize people to help out for such a remote and extreme challenge like this, with weather and work it was stressful. This year came around and I wanted redemption but sought to try it in a different style. Last go around I was fully supported, this time it was all on me, unsupported and solo.
