First Run of the Fall - 18 October


I haven't gotten to run since June. It was great today to take an hour and check out a nearby unknown - Lake Herman. Located in the hills between Benicia and Vallejo, Lake Herman is one of Benicia's reservoirs. According to the maps, a single trail links the lake to the Vallejo-Benicia Ridge Trail system, so I thought to go check it out.
I found a great place for short to mid-length runs. More exploring will determine if a trail circumnavigates the entire lake. Even if there isn't, there is still a maze of trails to explore amongst the hills surrounding the lake.
I only ran out-and-back for 30 minutes, but I'm looking forward to heading back and running at Lake Herman more.
