long slow photo day

Realistically the whole idea of taking photos at every run was a bit overwhelming. Plus, I kept forgetting my camera. So I figured that since I actually use my hydration belt on my long training days, AND I am supposed to run slowly I could both pack my camera (in said belt) and use it without hindering my performance.

The day started out perfectly cloudy and cool as I parked my car at a nearby field.

I then started the .5 mile downs being very careful to stay light on my toes to protect my knees.

I passed by some beautiful foliage and came upon some nice and easy flats followed by a winding dirt road surrounding a little pond

Then, at last, I came back around to the long hill back up to my car.

A wonderful day and a joyous run!
