Nice run in the woods

Too bad the park rangers chased me away a little early.  Lol.  I didn't pay the parking fee ($3) because I had no cash today.  I really wanted to run on some trails too.  I went around for a short loop (but scenic) and took a breather at the parking lot.  I was going to head back out on another set of trails when the park ranger van drove up to check the parking station.  So I non-nonchalantly got in my car and headed home.  Boo.  :(

FYI: I normally pay that parking fee.  Today was an odd day.

So I did a 600 yard swim, 5 mile bike and a 2 mile trail run.  My pace on the trail run was crappy, but I was enjoying the view (and taking pictures).  Plus who runs on trails at their fastest pace ever?  I always have a slow pace when I run trails; however, I find that running trails helps my road pace improve.  :)

I went to Sope Creek Park.  I ran alone as usual.  :(  Starting to get kind of lonely training by myself.  I need to find groups to train with...

 I love creeks and streams.  :)
 To the right of this tree you could see how massive the thing was.  It has partially knocked over another large oak tree.  I think it's collateral damage from the nasty storm/tornado we had at the beginning of March.
 More cleaned up debris.  Probably from that storm/tornado back in March again.
When I see trees and logs across ravines, creeks, streams, etc, I want to go climb across it.  :)  That's how I spent my childhood in the summers.
