Confession: Sometimes I wear a knee brace for no reason at all. Like right now, I’m sitting in front of the t.v. in my pajamas, my knees feel great. Then I looked to my gym bag, saw the brace and pulled it up beneath my pant leg up to my left knee. What’s up with that?
Today, I was scheduled for another ten mile run. After yesterday’s hellish heat run, I’m surprised I made it out to the trails. I felt a bit fatigued at first, but that was probably because I hit the dirt at 7:00 AM. Ahhhhh, what a difference – overcast skies, lots of trees and plenty of fluids. Now, that’s much, much better!
You can see from my pictures how very fortunate I was (& am).

Can never resist a picture in Dripping Cave (AKA Robber’s Cave):

A favorite spot along Dripping Cave Trail that I usually run up instead of down – I don’t think I ran it much faster going down:
Ending up Dripping Cave Trail to meet up with Mathis Trail (one trail here that I usually avoid running up):
Running up Mathis, which isn’t so bad, ESPECIALLY after yesterday’s run:

I really love this blog Lauren. Some of these runs look pretty amazing. Nice photos too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael! What a nice compliment. I really am lucky to have so many trails relatively close-by. Thanks for reading!!!
