Our goal was 6 miles; we planned to combine different trails to make up the distance.
Hiking Trail Hieroglyphics:
A single blaze on a trail this indicates that the trail generally goes straight ahead.
For trail novices like me, when two blazes are painted together, one above the other, a turn or bend in the trail is indicated. The upper blaze will be offset to (not directly above) the lower blaze. Here, the yellow trail heads right.
Decision-time! Glenn did all the trail-marker decifering. We stopped quite a bit to read the map (each of us carried a map, and mine only came in handy when Glenn lost his toward the end of the run).
Along the trail...
A little after 2 miles, we found ourselves back at the parking lot and started on a new trail.
3 blazes indicate the beginning of a trail.
Animal-tracks (a dog's paw-prints?), where we crossed to the other side of Blue Brook
Lake Surprise (not tempted to jump in for a swim!). We ran sections of the Bridle trail, alongside the lake.
We had to watch our step. Most of the trail was rocky. We walked at the most rocky and steep portions.
We encountered a few small hills. Glenn, an advocate of "goal-running" (I'll let him explain) pushed me up one hill, by sprinting me to the next trail marker. Whew! Glenn, you know I mean this in the nicest possible way...you are a slave-driver. We finished by racing each other to our cars, gasping and out of breath. We completed 6.8 miles in total.
We then sat on the grass by the parking lot, munching on post-run fruit and granola bars, chatting about...what else...running...and planning the next trail run.
Next Sunday is the NYC Half Marathon, so this week's been a sort of semi-taper.
Monday: core work
Tuesday: 8 miles + spinning + BodyWorks
Wednesday: 6 miles
Thursday: rest
Friday: 10 miles
Saturday: 6.8 mile trail run
Sunday: core work
Total: 30.8 miles

That looks like a great hike and an awesome workout!
I would be so lost out there! Sounds like it was fun, though.
I would have been lost, and dead, by now on that trail. Better you than me, trail Lady!!! Good work with the miles!!!
Oh, that made me Hansel and Gredle nervous just looking at it! Do cell phones even work out there?!
Looks and sounds like a great time. thanks for sharing.
Great week. I have to be with someone too otherwise I would get myself lost!
Gorgeous pictures! I always say it, but you have the best weekend getaways :-)
Getting lost in the woods would wayyyy freak me out- glad you had a good tour guide ;) Looks very very pretty. Nice job on the mileage this week!
In addition, you need to see the map to read it... I'm always provided with a really good map, but I don't bring readers with me to run. LOL
Again, beautiful pictures!
wow - that looks like a great trail!
Looks fun! I never knew that the two blazes mean a bend. Thanks!

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
