FIRST TIME RUNNING ON JRP! LOVED IT! First 9 miles were on JRP and next 9 were around home. Wish I could have stayed on JRP the whole time. Maybe someday.
Jeff and I left @ 6:30am and drove down to Gardner Village to run on the JRP. He needed to run 9 so we ran 4.5 out (north) and back. That was my first time running there and I really liked it. Jeff has run on JRP quite a few times and I wish I had tried it sooner. The sun rise was beautiful and the river, geese and other birds were really cool. There was a black bird with a bright orange spot on each wing. Is it mating season cause they were puffing up and making a ringing sound, like a cell phone ring. They were everywhere. The JRP run was slow and easy cause Jeff's just getting back in to running. It was fun to run together. His ipod died so we ran w/o music which I liked. Heading back south there was a head wind. We then drove toward home and Jeff dropped me off at some park @ 114th and 17th. I used my music for this second half of the run. I ran east and hello wind! I basically ran part of my regular long route backwards. I ran up to the road that takes me over to dimple dell road. Ran that whole road and walked the very last steep part up to where I turn left and go past the trail head and down and turn left and go past where the rooster crows and down the Eastdell, turn right and then left down 98th? down the 17th and to Falcon where I finished under 3 hours. Not too bad. It was windy but WARM! Wore short sleeves and knee pants. Too bad there's a storm tomorrow but it'll warm back up. Gotta go shower for soccer games! Husband and kids are making "Good Eats" guys ice cream today. Excited to try it! Hope this makes sense and not too many errors cause i'm in a hurry! Good day all!
