Event: QOC Seneca Creek
 

I expected a lot of trail runs to avoid stilt grass and wavy-leaf basket grass. What I didn't expect was the amount of thorns. There was a lot more than I recall for this park. There were also a lot of vines that really catch at the feet.

I went straight to number 1. Going to 2, I saw the road so decided to take the road. I was running down the road and surprised that we had such a long leg on the road. I was most of the way to #3 when I realized I had skipped #2 which was in the woods (duuuhhhh!). I decided it wasn't worth running back to it so just continued on. I was having some difficultly in my final approaches and had to wander in some in the circles.
Since I had sprained my ankle earlier in the week I appreciated the trail runs to avoid the worst of the green. I wasn't fast but did try to keep moving.

I needed to go to the CVS. I was going to walk up and run home but decided to jog up. My ankle still sore so it was an easy Jog.

run home from CVS via the park. Did bunch of extra field loops to get extra distance in. Ran on the grass, being very careful with my ankle.

Walk up to CVS.

Mapping Vetting Patapsco State part for Mid-Atlantics. Checking the orange course. Even though it is early in the season for mapping, I wanted to get out before the Wavy Leaf Stilt grass start seeding. It had seeds but they hadn't turned sticky yet. Stilt grass and wavy leave basket grass is bad. I was worried about my foot and stumbled a few times. Ironically I caught my foot on a rock on a trail, stumbled and twisted my ankle. Fortunately I was mostly done.
Mapping wise, park has gotten greener and I had to add several new trails to the map.
