Return to Running

Well, after about a week and a half of restraining myself, I went for a short jog yesterday. I was actually in Utah with my family celebrating the birthday of my mother-in-law. It was great to be back and to see everyone. Though I wasn't planning to run on this trip (I didn't even bring any running clothes--luckily I wore a pair of recently retired running shoes), I couldn't resist the temptation. I headed out with my wife's 13-year-old little brother (who, by the way, has recently started running). We made our way to a short trail near his house. It is not even a quarter of a mile long, but it is still one of my favorite places to run. A dirt trail with trees on both sides, and the Hobble Creek running alongside the path. It is a beautiful trail, made even more beautiful by the falling leaves. I hope you enjoy the slideshow tour of this gorgeous trail.
