AM: Valley Green to Schuykill River Trail toward Valley Forge - 10 miles, averaged 8:19

Lots of elevation change on this one. About 4.25 miles to the trail. I'm going to try to do longer workouts there but 4.25 miles with 230-260 feet per mile up and down for miles 2-4 is not fun cooling down.

I would think those trails would really strengthen your legs. Well deserved day off yesterday, too.

This one is actually paved (an "urban running trail), but I do spend a lot more time running on trails than I ever did. There is a wide dirt road that is just over 5 miles (Forbidden Drive) and numerous, more technical trails through the hills of the valley (above Forbidden Drive), which have rocks and roots everywhere but some fun single track.

That day off helped.
