Today my running friend, Jen, and I went to Hartwood Acres to run some trails. The goal of the day was to hit double digit miles, explore (we couldn't find a trail map before leaving) and have fun. It was a perfect day to hit some single track trails. We also ran by horse stables and huge open fields- it was absolutely gorgeous!

Along our run we developed a point system:

-10 points for each fall (3 x 10= -30, all my fault)

+8 for each fall that draws blood (2 x 8 =16, all my fault, see photos below)

+1 for realizing I lost my sunglasses in fall #1 (1 point)

+5 for every almost fall turned recovery (5 x 5 = 25, 3 Jen, 2 me)

+1 for every mile (10 x 1= 10)

We definitely ended up in the positive, even though my first fall hit me kind of hard. My neighbor (a doctor) thinks I may have broken my hand (black, blue, swollen), but it doesn't hurt too badly so I'm holding out on the ER. But, check out the beating my legs took:

I can't wait to head back there for more running this summer and fall, as I prep for JFK!
