Trail Running

I got off work about 6am from working all night and decided to take Sam to Southeastway Park for a run. I have a pretty good system down, I take a small leash and run it over my should and waist then snap it to another leash that is connected to a harness that he wears. He is doing very well about staying either on my right side or to my back when the path isn't large enough. We started about 7:30am right before light came through the trees. We followed a path as it ran next to the creek and then I make a choice to go into a clearing through the woods then out to a harvested corn field. We ran about a half mile up the field and back and when we came into the woods again I tripped over a root or treeling. I sprained my ankle good but kept going on it. We headed back along side the creek and Sam really did well. He' s a very agile dog and seems to really enjoy running even when it's 33deg outside :/ .

We ran for about 30 mins which is the usual, i don't have any idea what the distance was but I would guess about 3 miles. It's a good time to get out and go.
