Today is 3/29/14 and for the second time I did a trail run with others (kind of).   I saw 6 people while out.  Some of that is my fault in that I did not wait for them to show up.   I went to the same areas but a different path.  I saw a white bridge but not the green bridge I went over last week.

I started as the sun was just coming up.   I saw Bobby Kearney as we left on the trail at 6:50ish.  I did get to the last gate which was at where the bathrooms are at the Smalley trail head. According to my map my run app I went almost 12.5 miles in 2:33 minutes.  He went 15 miles while I did 12.   There was some repeating of miles since I did not know if I should the big sandy creak on a bridge that said hazard on it.  I decided that I do not know the area as well as I should.  As before I took some photos while running.   Please enjoy.

 On this one I just loved the colors.   I did have to wait for it to get sunny since that is how it looked best.

 I think these are poppy flowers.

 The end, my car was behind this gate.  12 miles down, almost done.

  Over all it was fun but I doubt that I would do it during the week with others.  I wouldn't do it with someone else who has not been on the trail.  I do not want to do it with time issues again either.  I doubt you could get lost for very long but I definitely gave that a try.  I should have been around 12 to begin with but my trying to get lost made it a little longer.  I was having directional issues but other than that, I was okay.  I need to trust myself more.  I did enjoy my alone time but I was hoping to make new friends.  I think my shoes are getting old and it might be time to order new shoes in the near future.
