Hey There Trail Blazers,
This mornings run from Elmwood Park up the hill to Santaro Park was a success. Besides a few tree branches we needed to duck under due to a small storm last night, there were very little technical parts along our stroll. The high temperature this morning didn't hold back 4 solid mountain climbers (Jim, Sam, Neil and myself) from ascending uphill from the lower park trails to Santaro. Midway through our run came an uphill challenge. This "mini mountain" ascended roughly about 500 feet over a 1/4 mile climb. The trails were shaded, cool and clear. The footing was perfect and the run seemed almost effortless. The best part, the descent back down the trail was quite therapeutic. The tremendous views of the city of Syracuse atop the Corcoran athletic fields, finished with a nice soft, surface trail along the small gorges/ravines in Elmwood made this particular trail run a keeper.
I and some of the other CNY Trail Runners hope to see more of you come out and join us soon.
