I took our dog, Abbey, and headed for the Justus Trail thinking that there'd be less snow than here in Meadville. We found the trail covered with 6+ inches of snow broken only by one pair of footprints heading out and back for one mile. Abbey loved it for the first four miles, tolerated miles four to six-point-five, and showed displeasure the last mile plus. I urged her on, praising her running continually for that last stretch. When I bent to pat her head she pulled away before I could pet her. She was mad. Slept in the car all the way back to Meadville and the next day. I hadn't realized how much it took out of me. Became ill later that night and slept until nearly five the following afternoon. Didn't run again until Tuesday, Feb. 26th Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 969 ft Location: Franklin, PA Elev.
