⭐ Why I Ran This Lake
I remember being invited out here when I was in college. I heard a lot of local runners trained at Bond Lake and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get out, train and meet people. But life happened. Now, 23 years later, I decided to afford myself the opportunity to enjoy this park as I begin this lake looping journey.
🏃 The Run
I’m currently training for the Frozen 50k in Cassadaga, NY. Had a 10 mile training run on the schedule for today. What I liked about Bond Lake was that it wasn’t anything overly technical. It was a nice mix of road, grass and gravel trail.
🌅 Scenery Notes
Had some great lake views!
🍽️ Post-Run Meal
Second breakfast at Knead the Dough. Cinnamon toast and cranberry juice.
🗒️ Notes for Next Time
This has to be beautiful when the lake isn’t frozen over and the trails aren’t covered in snow. Will have to come back when weather is warmer!
