Notes
This was a selfish one. I ran river trail with the crew, and then Katie Nimrod and I added a bit by running backwards up Dunnings to meet the group that was doing a bit of trail running. When we got back down to river trail we hung out for a few minutes, and then as people were heading back towards school I sort of made eye contact with Steve and he asked "Maggie are you going straight back to school or are you going to go add some more?". I took that as permission to leave the group (they had 16 counselors and 6 coaches, they were fine), and go run some trails solo. So I ran up and down Luge to Rocky Road, and then ran around Van Peenan for a while: Little Bighorn, Pines east and west, the prairie loop, before descending back down rocky road. Then I went back up into Dunnings and played around a bit more before descending via upper mothers day.
Its been a LONG time since I've had a solo run on the decorah trails, just playing alone in the woods. My legs fatigued towards the end, but it was worth it. I couldn't stand at the end of river trail, that close to dunnings and van peenan, and not get there during my 5 days here.
