I found some time this afternoon to slip off and go for a run at Umstead State Park. I ran here once before with a few guys I happened to run into. That day it was cold and rainy. Today it was cold and rainy. I didn't realize rain was in the forecast so I didn't bring a jacket. Luckily, I had gloves which increased my comfort level a bit. My legs felt good and I definitely needed the soft surface found in the park. The dirt path was in relatively good shape despite the recent snow and rainfall. If I lived in Raleigh/Durham, I could see myself training in Umstead daily. There would be a lot of out and back running but the rolling terrain is pretty ideal.
