Lucky Rabbit Run
I ran this in the dark a couple of years ago during the Ultra Challenge. Today I saw all that I missed that night! I enjoyed this scenic country road, village run. Nice little section of cascades alongside Kraft Road, nice little gravel shoulder to run on next to most of the country road portions, and the return along Taughannock Creek was very enjoyable for the general down hill and the sights and sounds of Taughannock Creek:
I dawdled too much finishing the first part of the figure eight and on the road into Trumansburg. I arrived at the aid station there 3 minutes after the 7 PM closing time. A worker was tying a rope across the entrance to the aid station.
Me: Are you really closed?
Her: What do you need?
Me: A scoop or two of something
Her: We can do that.
Me: I ran 12 miles to get here (I’m counting Taughannock Rim & Trails, too)
Her: Then you deserve it!
Me: I agree. Thank you!!!
Cheers to the ice cream angels working at The Ice Cream Bar!
In keeping with the ‘R’ theme, I went with Raspberry.
While I was waiting, an older couple who had overheard the exchange asked me if I planned my running just to get ice cream. I wanted to say, 'Well, duh!“, but instead just said 'Whenever possible.”
Ate my ice cream and then continued. Made the turn onto Rabbit Run and in seconds saw a rabbit run across the road! I felt like I should go buy a lottery ticket right away!
Saw this tough looking rabbit just up the road from there:
