I basically connected a series of trails to create a new seven mile loop. First mile and a half is on some rolling trails through the woods and then you come out on a fire road and run that for about a mile and a half. That part is pretty flat, but once you take the ATV trail back into the woods, there is a very technical climb for a little over a mile and a half. It's a buttkicker.
After the climb, you have a rolling downhill that takes you through some nice sections of woods and back on to another fire road for a small stretch, and then finishing off on a roller coaster section through the woods back to my place. Good stuff.
Very pleased with the pace. After I warmed up for a few miles, I felt very energetic and I felt like I was just cruising along. Great run.
Worth noting, no deer flies during today's run. Kind of cool out, but with the high humidity it felt much warmer.
Ran 7.1 miles @ 8:28/mile pace.

You are pretty lucky to have all of those trails behind your house. That's cool that you were able to connect a bunch of trails to make one long one. Good pace too. Like the photos. Way to stay away from those deer flies!
