Ran some trails at Prince William Forest. Turkey Ridge Trail to South Valley and then out to Mawavi Rd. Up to the Scenic Loop, around to High Meadow Trail and then back to Turkey Run Ridge via the Little Loop Trail. It was a beautiful afternoon with perfect weather for running. It was nice to get out after a few lazy days.

Scouted out more areas in PWF, specifically inside the scenic loop on the western end. It was a little thick, but still had mostly runnable areas. However, it was quite a contrast to the distinct spur/reentrant topography in other areas of the park in that it was very subtle with not much elevation change. Could make for a very interesting area. While I was out there I noticed the sky looked like a typical snow sky, and indeed, later tonight we got a few flurries. I enjoyed watching the first snow of the season...then I brined my turkey.

Guess what I did today! That's right, my Monday evening trainer session. Tonight I watched "Sister Act 2." But the better news is that I went for a pedicure yesterday and got a brand new color on my toes. In honor of the Canadians being added to whichever permutation of the Blind Tangerine that surfaces next year, I went with the OPI color "Nice Color, Eh?" from the new Canada collection. It's beautiful!

On the one day of the week when I could sleep in to my heart's content, I woke up at 5:40 and couldn't go back to sleep! Argh. But, I put those extra hours to good use and went to PWF to run the scenic loop. I usually run it as an out and back on one side of the loop, but this morning I decided to just run around the entire thing. It was a nice change, and it was good to know that every step I took brought me closer to the finish...even the first step!
