It was a great day for a run on the Black Diamond Trail. If you run from Gorge to Cass be sure to watch for the Bison grazing on the hill

Kris had to go to Rochester today, so she dropped Dior and I at Gorge Road and we did the Black Diamond back down to Cass Park.

The weather was too nice not to take the afternoon off for a lovely long run :woman_running:
My 3rd course done for FLRC CHALLENGE :white_check_mark::receipt:
I went up the black diamond, and turned around at the halfway :hot_face: certainly not used to this heat yet, but thankfully the sun went in and there was a slight breeze on my way back. I would have slowed down more but I was on a bit of a time crunch though as I had to jump on a zoom meeting at 2:30 and needed to find a spot to steal WiFi (thank you Ithaca Bakery):sweat_smile: made it just in time :winking_face_with_tongue:
Thankfully also had plenty more water in the car.
I do always love BDT even if I rarely get to enjoy it point to point.

Christie and I did this last Saturday after run/hiking the Abbott Ascent course. We did the out and back from the children’s garden. Why do I find the BDT so difficult to run? It is mentally challenging for me. Something about the grade being slightly up and then slightly down. I love trees but it’s all the same trees. Is this the same as my post from last year? Hatin on rail trails, there is something wrong with me! Glad to get it done! Ha.
6th course.
