August 30th

Matt & I drove to McNaughton with the intentions of running 2 loops at a solid pace. However, we did not leave until after 7:30 and found out that the park closed at 10 when we arrived @ 8:30. We started off running at a solid pace since we knew that we would only be able to do one loop. The trail was pretty dark and it was a good thing that I knew my way around. I started running across a bridge around mile 2 when all of a sudden it took a twist sideways. Yikes! I stopped right before tumbling into a black abyss and warned Matt just in time too. We kept going and navigating became more and more difficult. At about 4 or 5 miles into the run, we crossed a creek that did not look familiar. From that point, we decided to just run and see where the trail took us. Somehow, we managed to come across the mile7-9 section of the course and ran that for a bit. Don't know how that happened, considering I can't find that section during the day! Anyways, we ended up back at the beginning of the loop(no idea how) and ran one more time around the field at the beginning of the course.

Total Distance: ~ 6.5 miles
