I really needed some mental therapy today and it is amazing what a trail run in the Fall will do for your soul. Perfect temps and the views were downright stunning. No iPod, just me and the trail. I ran into Brent after a half mile and we chatted for about 5 minutes, but otherwise it was just me on the trail enjoying the bright fall colors that actually seemed better than Sunday. I ran the entire way to the summit and then took a few minutes to soak up the views. On the way down it started to rain slightly and it actually felt good. I had a really good run down and only saw one dude on a bike, but otherwise I had the place to myself. It was just what I needed.

Sounds nice and relaxing. So I guess you never run on the road, huh. Not quiet so relaxing. Although, trail running is way more stressful for me, if I'm doing it alone. Too scared of the unknowns:)

You must become one with nature Tara.

Tara- I don't mind running on the road, but I hate doing it by myself. It just seems like torture for me. You should come run with our group on the trails sometime. We have a blast, right Je10? :)
