I bet that trail will be beautiful in a couple of weeks! I seriously won't run at all if it's even remotely starting to get dark outside. I'm kind of a horror movie freak and I think I've seen one too many, lol. I've been running near the beach all summer and kick myself every time because I always forget to bring money, because every weekend it seems like there's some sort of festival with delicious goodies I would have loved to treat myself with afterwards!Jen @ Lesser-Known Runnershttp://www.lesserknownrunners.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-23009668299671185112017-09-12T17:03:19.196-04:002017-09-12T17:03:19.196-04:00You definitely have a pretty (and interesting) tra...You definitely have a pretty (and interesting) trail to run.

Vegas is the weekend after we fall back an hour, so I'm hoping I'll be able to do all my runs outside, without it getting dark so soon. Those last two runs I think are both 2 miles, which I can get done quickly.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806404383790065626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-4329069196872721802017-09-12T12:17:13.848-04:002017-09-12T12:17:13.848-04:00Those treats are SOOO not good to have when you...Those treats are SOOO not good to have when you're trying to burn calories on a run ;) haha<br />I dont THINK I've had a whoopie pie.

I made traditional chocolate ones but also made pumpkin ones one fall. I didn't realize they were regional!

One of the trails I run has a house with a really big yard so you only see the back of the property and they have large, scary dogs inside a highly invisible fence. The first time they came bolting up I nearly crapped my pants.
