I hadnt been on the LCC Quarry trail all year and now 3 times in 10 days or so. It is so dang beautiful and peaceful when I a have been (odd times so virtually no one there).  Today did 6 miles on that trail with 3 up and 3 down.  The trail is mostly packed snow now so it must get a lot of traffic on the weekends.  Wore shorts..was perfect.  Wanted a bit longer run so due to time drove to the trailhead of Bells canyon reservoir just a mile away and got out for more trail time. 

Ran the switchbacks to the reservoir and then around the water and up Little Bells canyon trail so I would make the roundtrip with 9 miles total for the day.  On the drive took a drink of nice flat coke and it hit the spot...much better on the stomach for me than a gu.  Funny though, I had a handheld water bottle in my Nathan backpack with the Coke in it and didnt open it until mile 6 and opened it with my teeth and the built up pressure in there sprayed a mist of coke air out my nostrils, ears, eyes and forebrain with pretty good force...had to chuckle...would be a misfortunate way to die...trail runner found dead with head blown off from Coke explosion.  

Felt great with slow and steady pace.  Mule style today.
