Burroughs Trail Run

After running 14 miles yesterday I soaked in a bath with cold tap water and all the ice from my ice maker. Not a frigid ice bath but effective nonetheless. I ran between 5 and 6 miles at Burroughs park this morning. My Garmin shut off a couple of times during todays run similiar to what it did yesterday. I think I caught it pretty quick and didn't miss logging much of the distance.
I felt good running so ran ahead of the group. Sara stayed with me on her bike up to a point in the trail where she went back to check on the others. I got directions to run down the path til I got to the fenceline and then take a left and follow the fence. That worked fine until I ran out of fence to follow; a little ways from where the fence stopped I came across a body of water so just hung out there a little while waiting for the others to find me. When that didn't happen, I decided to follow the fence back the way I came. I eventually decided to take another path which just happened to get me right back to where we had parked at the start of the run. Being a little shy of the 6 that I wanted to run, I decided I should just call it a day; turned out to be a nice run.
