8.9.14: This weekend was a beautiful one for a trip to the beach! On the way, we needed to get in a 15 miler so upon crossing the Bay Bridge we disembarked from the highway and visited the Cross Island Trail on Kent Island. As the name suggests, this trail runs across Kent Island, stretching from Terrapin Nature Park on the west to the Kent Narrows on the east. I spent the first part of my run circling the paths within the Terrapin Nature Park, traveling through the woods and along the shore of the bay. Heading east, the trail is paved to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists. This run was a great escape from my usual scenery, not too far from home.
