Trail Running

Directions. Yes, having one's bearings is essential when trying to find your way to a running clinic at The Fells. We followed two sets of conflicting directions that were provided to us by the clinic leader and found ourselves nowhere near where we needed to be to run with the group. After searching a map multiple times, we realized that we were at the south end of the park's entrance when we should have been about 2 miles or so to the north.

Instead of throwing in the towel, we decided to make the most of it and run the Long Pond trail on our own. It turned out to be great - the temperature was perfect and the views were amazing. Got in a little hill training as well toward the end of it. Total time was only 30 minutes (~3.5 miles or so), but it was probably one of the better (and faster) runs I've had this week.

It was a great run! We'll have to do a longer one next time.
