Quick run at Blackhand Gorge

I met up with Luc today at his house and then it was off to Blackhand Gorge for a quick run on the trails down there.
I was so cold this morning before we started out. I believe I had a base layer shirt, then a t-shirt, followed by a thermal shirt, then another 2 t-shirts, and finally a zip up. I felt like the Michelin Man. Kinda looked like him too.
Anyway, I was still cold.

Soon after we started I warmed up but was fine the remainder of the run.
The Marie Hickey trail was really cool. This is the kind of trail I like to run. Very runnable and scenic.
We took it slow as I wasn't sure how I was going to feel, but in the end it all paid off. It was a great run, and I look forward to many more runs down there.
The trail passed by this small gorge area with a couple of waterfalls. If Luc had not pointed it out, then I would have never know it was there.
After the run I had a few errands to run, but was able to make it out to the gym for a relaxing run on the dreadmill. Actually, I shouldn't say that. The treadmills I use there are nice. They are really smooth and best of all, they have built in fans.
I was hoping to get 10 miles in on the treadmill, but my wife called whining that she wanted to come home early. -Geesh. I gotta interrupt my run for that? I was only able to get 7 miles in.
After I picked up my wife, I quickly ran her home and dropped her off on her head so I could make it to Rogue Fitness in time for Crossfit.
I guess I just didn't get enough of a beating from running today.

Totals:
11 miles -trail and treadmill
Crossfit
Here's a bonus: A picture of the giant Longaberger basket building I pass to get there.

I bet that would hold a lot of Sam Adams for a picnic.
