These days, I don’t find myself running as much while on the road. Went out today in the cool, breezy but bright sunlit morning!

I started my run in cool, cloudy weather with long sleeves on. I was enjoying the wooden walkway so much that I decided to keep going a bit farther. When I hit the 2-mile mark and turned around, the sun was out and it suddenly felt really hot. I also noticed that running on concrete hurts my feet more than it used to, so now I try to stick to the wooden paths.

Lately, I have picked up my miles and have been paying for it with all sorts of pains in parts of legs that I did not know I had. Pounding on concrete cannot be great for the joints at my age. So, went to good old Big Creek Greenway this morning.

Loved it. Seeing so many runners on a Sunday morning brought back a lot of fond memories from the past. I need to probably start going back there …

The picture reminded me of the run in front of Acropolis!

My new 5K route – home to Wills Park, go around the park and then return.
