Trail Running

So the highly anticipated trail run yesterday wasn't as exciting as I had hoped.  I started at the usual start (Forbidden Drive/Northwestern Ave) and ran about 0.5 miles before I saw arrow on the right point to a trail.  As soon as I went on it, I basically ran 30 degrees up the hill for about 1/4 mile.  Okay, I didn't run the entire 1/4 mile but maybe half.  I probably started out too fast and ended up walking the rest.  After climbing the mountain there was a nice single track which lasted all of 1/4 mile.  After that section I could have kept going on the same trail or veer off to the right.  I kept going on the same trail since I didn't know where the other one lead to and also didn't have much time to be adventurous.  Well the rest of the trail was very uneventful and not fun.  I ended up running through a lot of spider webs and walked down majority of the way since it was very rocky and wet from the rain.  I ended up running back on Forbidden drive.  Ran 5 miles.

I will try to post with pictures but it's hard to bring a camera/iPhone on the runs unless I bring my armband.  If I get 1 request I will bring it and take pictures.  Right now it's just me reading this blog.
