11.5mi barefoot trail run.
Had a few nicks and scratches on the arch of my left foot from yesterday, trampling through the brush trying to get around all that gravel . Put some ointment and stuck a bandaid where I had pulled out a splinter that looked like it was trying to get infected.
Ground was a bit drier. It was supposed to be warmer today too, but I lucked out with some cloud cover. Saw four deer today! Bandaid came off about halfway. No trash cans in the woods, and there was fine sand on it, so I didn't want to stick it in my pocket. So I decide to carry it with me all the way out.
I checked out a bridge that goes to a housing development that's not too far from me. Thought perhaps I could take a shortcut to get to the preserve, instead of driving the 13 miles around get to the parking area. "No trespassing. Violators will be prosecuted". Sign on the bridge from the utility company. No shortcut for me. Though, I finally got to see the small river that runs through the preserve.
On the way back, I saw some empty plastic drink bottles scattered around the inclement weather shelter on the trail. Really? Too lazy to carry back some empty bottles?! What jerks!
No Boy Scouts today. Saw their cars on the way in, but they were gone by the time I got back. All in all another great run!
Edit: Oops, make that 51st Week! Cut & paste error.
