Nolan stroll



Yesterday we went out to my favorite running trail. I'm nowhere near ready for a 5 mile trail run so we took the puppy and walked. I really look forward to running this trail again, it is definitely the run I look forward to the most. There are many runners, walkers and dogs no matter what time of year it is.
Since last night was a late one at the symphony, I decided to take a rest day today, (well, other than giving the dog a bath :-) Friday I got in a good 2 miles, so depending on how I feel in the morning, I will either put in an hour on the bike, or go to 2 1/2 miles with my run.
2 miles sounds so pitiful as a run. I want my 7 mile runs back, but I know if I push too fast, I'll never get there! I'm keeping it in perspective though. Thanks to Clare's blog, http://musclesandra.blogspot.com/ , I know 2 miles is still enough to make me a runner :-) Thanks Clare!!

That looks like an awesome trail. I bet it is very colorful in the fall.

What a beautiful trail! I love how the leaves are just starting to change.

What a great trail-it makes me wish I had trails nearby to run on. And 2 miles definitely still makes you a runner; have patience, you'll get your mileage back!

it's all mental...if you feel like a runner you are! what we can do sure changes throughout life, but how you define yourself doesn't have to.

OK I can't wait to be able to run that with you! That is gorgeous.....You will be running 5 miles again before you know it.
