This week I found myself in Ohio (Cleveland area) for work and decided to use a couple evenings to put in some miles. I was staying in Willoughby and narrowed in on what looked like a great park about 5 miles south of there – the North Chagrin Reservation. Indeed, it was a great set of trails – lots of forest – a number of deep ravines with creeks at the bottom – a perfect mixture of trail types, lots of constant up and down rolling. In fact, if you swapped out 90% of the trees and made them evergreens, the trail itself reminded me a lot of my hometown Whatcom Falls Park. Perhaps not in vegetation, but in overall topography, trail texture (lots of exposed roots), and so forth – it felt familiar.<\/p>\n
I ran twice.<\/p>\n
