13 miles -- Broadmoor Bluffs to ??? to Cheyenne Mountain State Park and back.
The majority of this run was on dirt. The change from pavement was nice. CMSP has some good trails but it is basically impossible to access on foot unless you trespass. The outer edge of the park is just over a mile from my house via neighborhood streets, but there is no legal entrance if you go this way. The trails are literally fifty yards from the street but they're shut off by no trespassing signs and barbwire fences. Normally I'd just hop the fence but I get nervous because the entrance to NORAD is so close by. I think I finally found a decent access point for the rest of the week though. Since these are the closest trails to my parents' house I will likely stick with them for the rest of this Thanksgiving week.
Saw this quote today from Ryan Holiday: "Running to train for a marathon is like being a good person so you can get into heaven. The means is right but the end is all wrong. You glorify a bogus God." I think this is my new second favorite running quote, just behind Chlouber's "Make friends with pain and you will never be alone."
