PM- 6 miles easy Adventure run at Grapevine! Finally decided to stop being a wuss and face my fear of the big tunnels under the freeway to get to Grapevine rather than the tiny tunnels or just going over the entrances... I ran up on the back of the dirt mile to the white-rock trail to the tunnels... I do admit they made for some pretty quick fartleks, but I survived. Ran the trail that took me straight to Grapevine and just ran down that main trail until a 5 mile turnaround, but I really wanted to keep going so I went another half mile down (I have low enough mileage as it is this week). And I'm so glad that I did that because right as I started going further, a HUGE Jackrabbit ran across the trail! I swear he was as tall as my lower-mid thigh! I decided that his name is Jack-A. Jack because he is a jackrabbit and A because he is the king... If not the mother of all the jackrabbits! This particular run, I have decided, is the Jack-A run. We have to do this run in the summer sometime! I love grapevine. Ran to where I could see the Black Cliffs pretty good and then turned around. Got going pretty quick on the trail at about 6:30 on the way back. More fartleks through the tunnels... Those things are creepy!
