How long is this trail?

Hey! Well, we all made it through Monday so I guess we're well on our way to surviving another week. Sunday we did a lot of housecleaning (as if you could even tell) and then we headed over to Percy Warner Park to do some trail running. I've never run trails before so this was a pretty exciting event. We had only been over there once before and it's a HUGE park so we were still a little lost. For some reason a huge amount of the park was blocked off, so we couldn't get over to the trailhead. We ended up parling at the top of the large stair entrance and heading off on a trail. It started off straight up, so I knew that was a bad sign! It was a tough course, but a fun challenge. We ended up walking up two steep hills, but we ran the rest of the way. The trail we had landed on was 2.5 miles, and it was definately the toughest 2.5 I ever did. There were a few spots along the trail where a tree would be over the path and we had to hurdle over it. At 5 foot 2 I don't think I'll ever be a hurdler, so this is about as close as I can get! After that trail we ran part of the horseback riding trail to end with a total trail mileage of 4 miles.

Tomorrow is Pippin's 2nd birthday! I can't believe it! We got him around 10 weeks old, so it's still a few weeks until the 2nd anniversary of his life here with us. For tomorow we have a cake and a bunch of new toys for him. His cake is a peanut butter banana cake made for dogs. It has some sort of icing on it, but it's not made of sugar or preservatives. It smells really good & I know he's going to LOVE it!

Cya later!
