Read PG's log before venturing out and inspired myself to 'set a goal and just do it' even though I wasn't highly motivated to do so. My goal wasn't nearly as worthy as running to Montague, but I vowed heading out the door to run for at least an hour, and to do most of it in the woods... First 20 minutes were hard work, after that I just kind of settled into a groove and had an enjoyable 70 minutes in the woods. Mission accomplished.
Along the ridge above hunter, then found a series of blue tape blazes headed NW from Peaceful Valley, no trail per se, more fartlek with plenty of vegetation avoidance, but put me down behind Rolling Meadow Drive. Did some stealth running along back yards, then out and through some neighborhoods. Logged as trails since I stayed off pavement and ran in snow in front yards. Then picked up remnants of the old Rockville-Stafford trolley line back towards home. Mostly fartlek in the woods as most of the rail bed is either overgrown, or under water - neither of which are much running fun. Was looking for a trail back to SLR near the powerlines but obviously missed any sign as I wound up on Browns Bridge. Good enough.
