Today I decided to mix things up and go on an adventure! Instead of my usual run to the walking bridge and the rails trail I decided to take a run into Hyde Park. My coach told me about some great trails in the Culinary Institute of America so I decided to give them a try. Once I got the the CIA I ran into a few problems. I couldn't find the trails anywhere. I ran a complete mile around campus looking like an idiot before I got to them. Then I ran into my second problem, the bridge to get across the creek to the trails was out. After i spent all that time trying to find this stinking trails i was not about to just run back to Marist. So i started to look for a way to get across the creek and decided that the best route would be to go into the woods climb down a hill and then jump across a narrow end. I surprisingly did this all while successfully not getting poison ivy or bit by the massive snake I almost stepped on. All the trouble was so worth it once I got onto the trails. It was so nice that I kind of zoned out and lost track of where is was going. I finally realized where I was when I saw the back of FDR's house. At FDR's House I took a little breather then ran on home. My run ended up being 10.14 miles, the longest I'v ever run!
