My left ankle was a little twingy last night (technical term there) so I thought I might walk 4 miles this afternoon. I picked Odee up to go up Millcreek Canyon and he convinced me to run instead. My goal was to get to my turnaround point on the Pipeline Trail before I needed to turn on a flashlight. My first trail run this fall. The trail was muddy, had puddles, some snow and a tree across it already. Odee didn't bring his water bottles today, so he insisted I share with him at the halfway point. I had to slow down on the way back because Odee was being pokey and because it was only the second time I have ever ran on a trail after dark. My depth perception with the flashlight took some getting used to. I was a bit chilly with only compression shorts on my legs, but didn't even stop to put on my gloves during the run. After dropping Odee off, I treated myself to a hot chocolate from Starbucks.
