AM: College Hill Loop - 6.5 miles, averaged 8:52. Around 575 feet of gain according to the Garmin.

Found the direction of the Schuykill River Trail. I'll explore that a bit maybe tomorrow. The trail system here is extensive! I can feel either the hills or the treadmill (or both) in my glutes. Must be strengthening them.

PM: Exploring a bit - 6.25, averaged about 8:35. I stopped my watch and forgot to restart so it took a wicked tangent. With Google Pedometer and the elapsed time I figured it to be a mile.

That's a nice river to run along. Connects to quite a few more trails than you would think exist in Philly, from what I remember of the times I've been there.

Agree with Jake. It is always a run I look forward to doing when I am in Philly - a run along the Schuykill.

I've run on the trail I ran on today (Forbidden Drive) before but I'm looking for trails to do workouts. I like the track but fall won't be far off and as much as I'm enjoying the hills I'd rather not try to tempo these sidewalks and various intersections. Very enjoyable run today. Lots of people out and the dogs behave better than most of the inhabitants of Lafayette :-)

Sounds like you're getting stuff figured out. Seems fun learning a new town.
