trolley trail

Today my friend and I decided to switch up the one week old gym treadmill routine - and she suggested this old historic trail near my house. Its an old Trolley Trail line, and its a pretty easy walk - but for someone just getting back to being active, it wasn't so easy.
















So we started the trail and it was great! Nice and leisurely. Pretty creeks, and wonderful gray skies. I love gray skies.
















Then at the end of the 1.1 miles there was a cute little cafe. That's because the trail ends in historic Ellicott City and there are a bunch of quaint shops and eateries. But we only had water at the cafe b/c we forgot to bring money. That kinda sucked - b/c I think we both would have liked to have had a cup of coffee at that point. But the cafe was really cute and already (!) decked out for Valentine's Day.





















Then we turned around and started back, and thats when i realized that we were going *DOWNHILL* the first time, and now its going to be *UPHILL!*

But I did it, and I enjoyed every minute, and I am so proud of myself, and so happy that my friend encouraged me to do it! Thanks P.!
