It felt so warm that I decided to go on a trail run instead of going to a treadmill at the gym. The air was so crisp and the chill of the air was just right to keep me comfortable as I ran.
There is a point on the trail that was my 'push to' point. You know, the destination I would push myself to make it to because it was really, really hard. That point was the concession pavilion at Art Dye Park. I got to that point today... and breezed right past it! I had set a 45 minute timer on my iPod so I would know when to turn around and head home for a 90 minute workout. The pavilion at Art Dye was only the 30 min. mark. So, I kept going. I ended up turning around a few minutes before my timer went off, though, because I realized I was losing daylight. I didn't want to be jogging after dark in my black outfit (that ended up happening anyways, though). It took much less time going home because it was all downhill returning and I was able to jog the whole way. I need to adjust the timer to account for that.
There were a few spots on the trail that still had snow and slush on them, but I just walked over those patches carefully, then went on my way. On the return (after the sun had gone down), some of the wet patches of trail were also icing up, so I had to watch out for that, too. Still, I really had a good time and I just LOVE the view from the upper trail of the whole valley at sunset!
