Pretty amazing run this morning, went out and followed the River Trail again today but since I started knowing the right way to go I was able to follow it much further. About 4 miles out of downtown Minneapolis the trail got really beautiful going through foresty residential areas, there were lots of side dirt trails that kept taking off into the woods, I couldn't help myself and eventually just left the path and started running down an amazing trail, it was like I found running Mecca, soft dirt trails with leaves all over them, little bridges that crossed over streams and wild life everywhere, it was simply amazing. I could have kept running forever until I realized I was completely lost, had no idea which way I was heading and some how the river got on the wrong side of me and I didn't remember ever crossing a bridge, so I turned around and tried to back track, eventually I found my way back to a park I remembered running through and got back on the right track. My Garmin Database got full and stopped working so I'm not sure exact distance, it was further than 12 cause it said 6 when I turned around and then I ran a bit extra just trying to figure out how to get back. Anyway, awesome run, I wish I knew someone local who knew those trails better cause it would be amazing to just run forever though the woods like that. I fly home this afternoon. The hotel I'm staying at has had network problems for over 1 year, we have sent 4 techs out to try and fix it and finally they convinced me to come out and take a look. I found the problem in about 4 hours and have the new parts coming in this morning to replace the bad. They don't pay me enough!!!
