Windy Hill

The running at Windy Hill was so good last weekend that I returned today! The run was about 12.4 miles and took 85 minutes. It definitely helped knowing the trails and how much uphill I had left to properly allocate my energy. The first part of the run was the same as last time running from the parking area off Portola Road to Razorback Ridge via Eagle Trail. Once atop Skyline Ridge, the Lost Trail was awesome as before. Instead of turning off to Hamms Gulch Trail, I continued on to the Anniversary Trail and the summit of Windy Hill making a small loop and then returning back to Hamms Gulch Trail and the descent. This side run added about two miles to the total and featured amazing views of the entire Bay Area as the evening light was perfect. With bluebird skies, temps in the mid 60s, great trails, and awesome views, I can’t complain!
