Checking In on a “New” Trail

It’s not often in the big city that we see new trails. The trail isn’t new as much as “refurbished”. In fact, I ran down here in February when I encountered dead end after dead end after dead end. But, back in the spring, I heard that work had been completed in Buck Gully, so I decided to check it out.

Some then and now photos:

There are a couple of days of calories that we need to talk about:

• Food: 1990
• Exercise: 0
• Too few/(too many): (210)

Friday:

• Budget: 1780
• Food: 2131
• Exercise: 435
• Too few/(too many): 84

It’s raining today (Saturday) and since I’m not training for a race, I’m going to stay warm and dry and sack today’s run. I’ll get a few miles in tomorrow.
