It was a beautiful Saturday around 3:30 pm. Being an avid runner, I thought the temperature was absolutely perfect for a jaunt through Pilot Knob. I jump out of my vehicle with the anticipation of a relaxing ride and head towards the serene trail. I didn't know I was following the trail of terror. It was around 3:15 and I was going for a jog. I grabbed my iPod and blue water bottle and was ready to go! When I arrived in my brown '96 car, I had to park in a small gravel area outside the brown wooden gate. It wasn't a big deal, except that I had to walk the entire loop, which is 4 miles long! I began preparing for the ride I would have to endure in just a few minutes. I start by doing plyometrics, also known as high knees, karaoke, etc. Once I was warmed up I started running around the scenic park. There were trees covering almost every inch of the park. Most of them were leafless, but the trees that had them were beautiful; they were covered in assortments of reds and oranges. The first half of my ride to the top of Pilot Knob was full of twists and buts...
