Running Wild

Ran on the Brush Creek trail while Lori walked the dogs.  I covered 4 miles running and walked with Lori and the dogs the last mile.

Tonight Lori and I took the dogs on a bushwhacking adventure starting at the Twin Lakes park and going along the brushy creek stream course along the route that the brushy creek trail will cover once it's extended from the Parmer trailhead.  It was just hiking but it left us with scratched up legs, the dogs full of burrs in their fur, and everybody happy.

This morning I got up early and did a run in Lori's neighborhood in Cedar Park, taking trails through wild preserve areas whenever I could, including a lot in the WestSide Preserve area.  About 50% of the run was on single track trail and about 50% on sidewalks.

Today I got up and did a morning run before the heat developed.  I ran in the Deer Creek neighborhood in Cedar Park TX.  I tried to find some new trail but was largely unsuccessful.  Lori said they are going to be building a new park off of Anderson Mill Road here in the future.  I'll have to figure out where that is going to be and try running there.

Later we took the dogs to Twin Lakes where we got another 0.93 miles in, and in the evening Lori rode her bike and I ran for another 1.7 miles over to Mark and Mollie's house for wine and cheese and crackers out on the back patio and back home.

This afternoon Lori and I took the dogs to the Brushy Creek Trail at Parmer in Austin.  I did a 5 mile run and Lori walked the dogs on the trail and let them swim in the lake and lay in the creek.  Then we picked up some Chinese take-out on the way home and had it at home while we watched cartoons.

Today I did a run at Point Mallard.  It had just stopped raining a few minutes prior so the humidity was near 100% and I was feeling the effect of it, but it was a nice day to be on the trail otherwise.

This was an evening run that began at my house and went up Trinity mountain, then down to the Trinity City Hall and back.  I had to start this run twice.  The first time I left my house and started down the lane my house is on.  The neighbors down the hill have recently taken in a stray young female dog who was very excited to see me running by and was having a great time running in circles around me as I ran.  She's so young and excitable that I was pretty sure she'd try to run the whole way with me if I kept going so I had to turn around and go back home until she wandered off and I could start again without her.  Tonight was my first run after 4 days off.

Got up at 5:00 this morning and ran on the roads near my house before work.

Ran a loop in Trinity just before dusk after the rain stopped.
