Monday's Run at EI

I met my friend Jeff for a long run at England-Idlewild Park in Boone County. The weather was perfect and the trails were in really good shape. There were a lot of downed trees from Sunday's windstorm 3 weeks ago but they were either off the trail or someone had come through with a chain saw and removed the offending lumber. It must have taken a long time and lots of work to get things back in shape. I was amazed at the extent of the damage. Some of the trees were huge. They often as not snapped off 30 or 40 feet above the ground or were simply uprooted. Anyway it was a crystal clear morning with temps in the high 50s and a stiff breeze that all but evaporated down on the trails. We ran the circuit taking 2hrs 45 min in all. It was a great morning!
