Story
I only had time for a shorter course before work this morning, and my dog wanted to come along, so I thought I’d give the Ellis Hollow trail another go (twice in 24 hours). I went as fast as felt safe with all the roots, rocks, and mud (last night’s rain made some of the hills pretty slippery) and was happy for the effort. There is some muck, especially toward the end where you bear left rather than going up to the utility pole, so trail shoes are recommended.
I saw someone finishing up at the parking lot when I was heading out. Took a quick look at the leaderboard for runs this am when I got back into service (I have no reception out there!) and I think it was Jessica Smith. Love to see runners out enjoying the courses!
Lola was happy for a quick drink at creek #4 (??)
I got a little turned around at the start and ended up running the first mini-loop backwards, but according to RunGo, I did cover the ground (and that’s the goal!)
It was a happy way to start the work week. Thanks for all you do @adamengst (and @tonya-engst) to put together the challenge each year.
