Highland trail route:
I started coming down with a cold on Sat and I have zero energy, plus I'm taking a few med including Benadryl, so I absolutely did not feel like running, but I didn't want to take another day off, so I decided to run 5 near my house. There is a trail that goes from 6000 W. in Highland all the way to the Alpine Hwy that I have been checking out for a while now, but I have never run it, so I decided to hit it today. From my house I ran east to 6000 W. and then north to the jump on the trail.
The trail runs throuh some farm land and neighborhoods and it was actually pretty fun. I'll definitely take it again. Next time I will go the other way (east) to see where it ends up. The cool thing about this route is it is almost exactly 5 miles out and back from my house, so now I have a new 5 miler to run.
The run itself wasn't great. I was so slow and didn't have any energy, but the last mile and a half I was actually able to pick it up some when a few good songs hit the ipod.
Jun just bought a Sony action cam and we have been messing around with it on our last few runs. Check out this vid he made from our Grandeur Peak run on Friday.
