Run 137.
This is the run that just about did not happen. After a long night of not sleeping at my son’s birthday sleepover i was having difficulty finding the motivation to run. I did get dressed in my running kit and headed out close to 8:00 PM. For some strange reason I decided to run the Douglass Fir trail which runs up and down the river valley just below our house.
It was a dumb thing to do. This easy jog turned into a hamstring churning episode. The run is pretty nice though and there are some great views.
There are places that you look out and you can not forget you are in the middle of a booming city and then there are places where you could be running in the mountains.
I took this next picture for comparison to a picture I took a month ago. This is today – note you can still some some ice holding on under the bridge.
This is a similar view taken on March 5. There is a difference.
Overall it was a good run, I extended the run to make about 3.5 miles and thoroughly enjoyed an evening run for a change. I ad forgotten how pleasant it is to run at sunset and will have to repeat it again.
Plod On.
