Difficult Run - The Last Weekend Before the 50!


I'm behind on my blog posts, so at this time I can congratulate Kira on her HUGE accomplishment of completing the Bull Run 50 miler !!  Congratulations Kira, you did it!!  And in fine style!!  Also, a huge thank you to everyone who went to cheer her on.....50's are not easy, and it is soo nice to have someone there....even if its for a brief second.  I will forever wish we could have done it together, but that just leaves room for more crazy adventures in the future!


So, Difficult Run!  Its this little mini green space of pleasure that spans for miles and miles and miles....with rolling hills, dirt trails, huge trees, and surprisingly few people that will take you all the way from Reston to Great Falls.  (12 miles in one direction).


Our day began in Reston with the goal to run to Great Falls and back.  The biggest issue is there are not a lot of directions out there, and with a lot of spur trails, its pretty easy to get a little lost.....The best advice I can give is when you cross the road at the highway, actually cross the highway and turn right.  At the end of the road the trail will pick up again and that is the trail you need to be on to make it to Great Falls.


Another amazing day...temps are still warming up, but what an amazing fall....and once again, another HUGE congratulations to Kira!!  YOU DID IT!
