It's a good thing that I look at side trails and think, "I wonder where that leads?" It's also good that once I start on that path, I'm not scared to head up 60 degree inclines to find out. If I'd stayed on the well-worn paths that provide about 5 miles of running at Bull Creek, I would have never discovered the miles and miles of trails that aren't found on maps. It will take me a long time to learn where all the trails lead, but I estimate there's probably 10+ miles of trail out there to cover. Add in the 5 I already knew about and the fact that I can access Forest Ridge after July 31st, and I can connect enough trail to probably run 25-30 miles, if not more.
The best part is that its only about a 20 minute easy run from home to the first trailhead. From there, outside of a .3 mile section, all of the 30ish miles would be on trail.
I've yet to explore the 20+ miles of trail out at Walnut Creek, and there's still about 16 miles at Georgetown Lake I've not hit up yet. Plus, I have the 8 miles in each direction at the Greenbelt.
