Cheseborough or Cheseboro?

Since this park is now one of our favorite meeting spots, I thought we should at least get the name correct. It's actually Chesebrough, a combination of mine and Patty's spelling. It was a nice evening run with all four ladies in good spirits and the weather wasn't too bad either. No one was suffering too badly and we got through it in a decent pace of 9.27 for 3.65 miles with some moderate hills at the end of it. I'm hoping we can test the legs on Saturday and do a longer run.
