Good News... I got in a nice 4 miler with a time of 35:18 which is an 8:50 pace. Another personal best!
Bad News... The beautiful trail lined with trees for miles that I have used in the past has been completely destroyed. Nothing is left. Not even the stream that used to run through the ravines down to the Mississippi is still there. Well it is but underground in pipes anyways. Very natural. What a disappointment. What is left is brown dirt. Nothing else. It is really frustrating. It was not uncommon to see deer along the path watching as you ran by. Seeing them was a rare occurrence in the area but it did happen there. I even was almost attacked by a gopher while running along this path which looking back on it now I feel a little nostalgic. Another natural, quiet, beautiful area has been destroyed for urban development and good views of the river for the upper middle class with their "luxury condos". So much for a peaceful run today.
