good Discovering the Trolley Trail 13 mi

I felt really good, and had fun discovering the lower half of the trolley trail. As the street numbers got higher and higher, I was getting more and more nervous. (it was fun because it was the middle of the day, and not closer to dark)

Then came the signs about contaminated water?! and signs telling you to 'carry a cell phone at all times'?!! The quality of the neighborhood was quickly growing worse, so I turned back toward home with only 1 3/4 miles to go. I am definitely content to not go running in those neighborhoods again. It always makes me sad to have to skirt around parts of town that are simply unwise to run through.

    Josh, I've run all the way through there dozens of times. In the summer there's a band of homeless folks who camp in the woods, but I've never had a problem with them. I've run it at night several times too with no worries. There are some pretty cool parts just a little further down, and a few trails to mountain bike. Maybe try running with a friend? Its doesn't seem too bad once you're use to the area.

    I will have to take a shot at it then. Anything involving Prospect is usually not high up on my to-visit list.
