Today Lori and I explored a park near our house that we had never known about.  It's a 1 mile trail that includes a historical site, which is a log cabin built in 1859.  We took the dogs with us and walked the length of the trail and back, which parallels a year round creek.  Later in the afternoon I did this run from our house to the park.  It's about 2.5 miles to the trailhead, and about a mile on the trail one way.  It was a very nice warm and sunny day for February and I felt pretty out of shape.  I've got to start running more.

Ran the trail at the Twin Creeks Historical Park with the dogs.  At the end we went bushwhacking and found the remains of a burned down old house that was tucked up in the woods.

 I don't know if this google pedometer map will show up, but today I did a run that started at 3M and proceeded into the River Place neighborhood.  This is a really ritzy neighborhood that overlooks the Colorado river and has 30 mile views for most of the run.  It has a long downhill stretch going down into the vally and a long uphill stretch coming out that really took the wind out of my sails, but it was a great run.  I need to stop doing this once or twice a week stuff because being in pseudoshape makes these runs too hard.

I had the day off today and I did a trail run from my house that included loops in the West Side Preserve and the Discovery Wells Preserve.  It was a nice day for February.
