Happy Birthday America!!

I spent a couple of minutes pouting this morning because I have to work the entire weekend.  Then I took the dog(s) for a walk this morning and realized that it was going to be an absolutely beautiful day!

And what better way to celebrate America's birthday with a 4 mile trail run!  I've been kind of sick of the same 2 miles out and back from my house, so I packed up Mr. Sharkie and we hit the trails.

My friends and I do a trail run every Thanksgiving that we have lovingly coined the "This is NOT a Turkey Trot _____ K."  It's a _____ K because we add a K every year.  Every year we step our game up a little.  This past Thanksgiving, I was NOT messing around.  I made bad ass t-shirts and construction paper turkey medals.  But I digress.

We went for a run on the same trail we do for Thanksgiving, a nice little out and back on some single track, and then through the woods.  I love trail running.  It helps me feel like I've gotten away from the city for a minute, and it's good conditioning.  Just watch your footing!

It was like this.  But with more mountain bikes.

Who else hit the trails today?  Any fun plans for the 4th?
