Could not get my butt out of bed yet again this morning so I decided to pack a bag and run over lunch. Today I took the same route as last week but decided to stay off of the paved trails once I was inside Ernie Miller Park. I ran the same trail to start with the little stream crossing then I decided to take another trail instead of staying on the paved park trail. This trail was pretty interesting since it was down in the stream bottom and I got to another stream crossing that had large boulders propbably 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide placed in the stream to cross at this location. As I crossed the stream a guy and his kid came up and watched me race across the boulders from the other direction and the guy says to me be carefull its muddy and slick once a crossed the rocks. It was pretty cool little trail run then I headed back on the original trail to cross the little stream for a second time and on my second step my foot slid off the rock and splash only my shoe got a little wet. Oh man I just narrowly escaped what could have been a disaster! Overal great run and even with the trail sections I still had an average overal pace of 7:32. Felt good and pretty easy.
