Notes
This was my first run in Austin. My knee was really tweaky throughout the run, though. I did run an easy pace and stopped every now and then to take pictures. I was hoping to run completely around Lake Austin, but the trail kept stopping at odd places.
If you look at the map, I started the loop and ended up on I-35, which either I tried to get across without getting hit by a car or just cross the lake. I ended up crossing the lake, and then tried to complete the part of the loop that I missed, unfortunately, the trail ended! So, I guess that part of the trail just wasn't in my future.
I doubled-back and then somehow the trail ended up in the middle of downtown Austin! I really should have brought a map! I started to run back to where I knew the lake was and then ended up finding the trail again. From there on, I was able to stay on track and run the trail along the east side of the lake, across Mopec, and then back to where I was.
The scenery was just amazing!!! If I lived in Austin, I'd be completely content if this were the only trail I could run.
