The weather was quite nice today and I had quite a bit of pent of energy inside me. Rather than going to the gym, decided to hit up a local trail that I have not visited in months. Since I haven’t been running in the past few months due to a tweaked knee(swear I did it just turning around. Sigh. Getting old fast), the plan was only to get a mile or two in. Enough to burn off that extra energy.

The run was great.  The weather was warm, but very comfortable, especially for winter! The trail was empty and the sun setting made it stunning. Most importantly, e knee felt comfortable and I managed to maintain most of my speed. Endurance will be tested later on.

During the run, I stopped by the bridge to capture this shot. I may or may not have used this as an excuse to take a break.

I ended up running a bit further than I had intended to as I felt great, but having not brought any water, I decided to stop by a private park and take a few gulps at the water fountain. After quenching my thirst, I noticed a relatively well-traveled dirt path seemingly leaning up to the hills. Curiously, I ventured up and noticed this scenic lookout at the top. Here is my favorite picture.

Here’s a panoramic of it! Quality is not as nice as I didn’t adjust the setting but gives you an idea of what I found.
