Historic Longstreet Farm

Arlene and I spent a lovely afternoon at Holmdel Park today. We visited The Longstreet Farm for a while and had a nice walk around the lake.  In between I did a workout while Arlene learned more about the history of  The Longstreet Farm and took some pictures.  Having spent many summers on Grandmother’s farm during her younger years,  these scenes and smells bring back fond memories for Arlene.   I am constantly amazed at the complexity of the 18th century farm machinery displayed there.  No childhood farm memories for this guy!

My workout was three 12:30 miles around the XC starting line field.  It is just about a half-mile with the first half going uphill and the second half going downhill. That means I was going uphill for 6 x 400 meters. It was a decent aerobic workout. I had to moderate the pace for fear of re-injuring my tender hamstring muscle. I can still feel a slight tenderness in the area even at that pace.
