Swirling Clouds on Windy Hill

Another great run at Windy Hill Open Space Preseve! I did the exact same loop as the one last Tuesday – the Razorback Ridge/Hamms Gulch Loop with a side loop up Windy Hill summit and the Anniversary Trail. Total time was around 85 minutes with about 12.5 miles covered. The base of the run was partly sunny, but fog and low clouds shrouded the upper part. It was sweet to run in the swirling clouds streaming over the ridge atop the exposed Windy Hill. The temperature was comfortably in the low 50s the entire run, and I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed the clouds as much had it been cold up there! I am tempted to run everyday, but I know I am due for a complete rest day from running (or at most a short jog) so tomorrow I will probably just hit the gym.
