Trails and More Trails

Another great day. I decided to take advantage of the lack of snow and ice. Today's run was on the North Chagrin reservation bridle trails. I try to get on the trails 1-2 days per week to avoid the impact on my legs of always running on pavement. Since the trails were clear and ice free, I did a complete tour of the park, including the lower loop by Squire's Castle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squire. This is my favorite trail, but I don't get there often in the winter as it is very hilly and therefore slippery when ice covered! A nice longish run, about 14 miles. Not shorts weather, but sunny and about 40 degrees - I'll take this all winter!
