Trails

7 miles and it was tough. One of my more difficult routes, but rewarding. I'm fortunate to live less than 2 miles from a city park with a nice trail system. Since the marathon is over, it's time to get back to the trail. I ran the 1.75 miles to the trail then ran about 3.5 miles on the trails and ran back home. Only 2 incidents to report. One, I cracked my head on a fallen tree. I thought I was stooped low enough, but apparently, wearing a hat does have its drawbacks when it comes to guaging certain distances, that being the distance between a fallen tree and the ground. I felt a little instant nausea, then I felt better. The second incident occurred on my way out of the park, where the gravel fire road slopes down to the main road. I lost my footing, slid and pitched forward. I managed to catch myself with my left hand and I think I fell on it pretty hard, because it still hurts.

It's ungodly hot already and I'm only posting these splits to show how much the trails slow me down. It's worth it though for the soft surface and shade.
