Sometimes it get's a little lonely living out in the country and not having a running buddy. I have been pretty spoiled by having some great running buddies in the past. But I must say that I feel extremely lucky to have the opportunity to run in the area that I do. I gauge traffic by how many cars per mile I see, rarely is it even one.
I thought I would share a nice little 10K loop with you. Come run with me, I hope you don't mind a couple of hills, it's all part of the price you pay for the view.

This is the pavement after we get off a stretch of gravel about 6/10 of a mile. |

After a short run on the blacktop we turn back onto the gravel.
There's a nice surprise at the top. |

This is looking back at where we just ran, it's almost a 2 mile stretch of gravel. |

Back on the road again.
No ipods allowed, we have to be able to listen for traffic. |

Uh oh...I think I see another hill around the corner. |

Did I mention that there may be a couple of hills? |
This pretty much sums up the views from my 10K route.
My friends and I want to thank you for visiting!
