Poured over the map last nite to get the best possible running trail we could. Ended up choosing a good one. At least for running. Only a couple of good views the entire way, although they were good ones. One was of Dillon Reservoir at the beginning. The trail went 2.7 miles out to a fork and most of this section was up. Short, downhill part to the fork. Then 1.5 out to another fork. This was all great for running. About a mile into this section we came out of the trees for an awesome view of the mountains ahead. We reached the next fork (which started going up, up). Took a quick break then started back. The wind picked up as a storm was blowing in. We ran hard coming back as the skies were ominous and we didn't want to be out there on the trail any longer than we had to. But, luck was on our side and we missed all but a few sprinkles. A good run back down into the parking area finished off the day.
A good running finish for the inaugural Rocky Mountain Foot Challenge. Felt a little sad that it was the last day and a little disappointed that I hadn't pushed myself enough.
