Trails in Afton State Park

Off to Afton State Park....

Along the bank of the beautiful St. Croix River...

We needed to get a little trail workout, even though we had done a 5K this morning in the neighborhood.

Our faithful Bike Guy, nearly recovered from plantar fasciitis, came by to cheer and support....

Trails involve elevation!

All the way to the top.....

Quiet evening at home with Runner's World magazine... October issue just arrived today. The article on eating for running, "Real Good Eats", is a don't miss article for everybody: Don't miss a morsel.

My favorite was the first course: nuts, seeds, beans, grains.... which contain the nutrients to grow the new plant.
More thoughts about grains: see the post below.
