Song Bird Trail

Oh girls.  I am so sad that we didn't know about this trail earlier.  A couple of weeks ago I went running with Kristin and Trina and they took me on the most beautiful run.  We started at Kristin's house and headed up to the trail head on 36th.  We ran the regular trail and then headed over to the trail by St. Joseph's High School, but then instead of going to the end and turning around, we dropped down to the neighborhoods.  We ran through the neighborhoods to 20th St. to the Bird Song trail head, which I had no idea existed.  The trail was beautiful and dropped us down from 20th to the head of the Parkway!  So guess what we skipped entirely?  That nasty road that passes El Monte and Rainbow Gardens!  No cars to nearly kill us, and though there was wind, it wasn't nearly as bad.  Oh my.  I sooo wish we had known about this trail years ago!  It was beautiful, and you know how I feel about trails.  Ahhhh.  Anyway, we finished the run by running the parkway (against the flow of a 5K nonetheless) and finished up a Peak Performance.  It was 7 miles total and was awesome.  I loved it.  We definitely need to do it next summer.  Yes, yes we do.
