Trail Run

Sunday noon ... 5.25 miles on county park trails ... 70 degrees and 15 - 18 mph breeze.

The ever popular... poison ivy ... right beside the trail in some of the wooded area. I have been extremely sensitized to poison ivy and am always on the look-out.
In the afternoon we finished the Family Means (Stillwater) Garden Tour.

Moose Mountain Marathon on Lake Superior Trail

Mouth full of ginger cookies!

BE SURE to read Make It A Masterpiece for the real scoop on the Moose Mountain Marathon.

Sweet Pea and I got all the way to Oberg Aid Station for a great 21 miles.
It made the day to have my Honey stick with us for as long as we could make it. What a great experience!

Trail Run in the Park

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.
