New Trail

I decided to head west this morning rather than east, and even ran in the morning as opposed to later in the day like I've been doing. I used my maps app to check out the possibility of running some hills, but I didn't want to go all the way to Stonebridge. Too much traffic to dodge during the morning rush. Instead of that I ran to Ridge and took a right. Just up the road there is a path (new to me) running behind a nice neighborhood. It comes out close to Stonebridge, which I ran up about a quarter of a mile before turning back. This morning was quite humid and I pondered walking several times, but I didn't give in until the way back I walked the last half of the big hill going east from Ridge up Virginia Parkway. All told I ran just over 5 miles. It was good to get that in and do a little hill work in the process.
