9 miles on the trails

I got to the store early enough this morning to get in 9 miles on the trails. I saw some Georgetown runners and a few dogs on an extremely nice morning. I ran in short sleeves and felt great. The run was a little rough on the second half because the way out is more down then up and I felt the up on the way back. Some days I can run strong and controlled on the way back, but today was not one of the those days. As usual, I had a pretty good pace going for most of the run.
