Today was a first. I'm not sure why it has taken me so long. Diane and I have combined motorcycling and hiking in the past, but this is the first time I have combined a ride with going for a run. It is Fall, the weather is perfect, and I just couldn't resist. Decided on a short (about 10 mile) ride to Yellow River Park. There are a lot of trails for runners, biking and even horse back riding. I usually do a nice 3.5- 4 mile run along the river and that is what I did today.

I took a little bit of a tumble on the second half the run. That's the second time I've fallen while trail running, which I'm relatively new at. I stubbed a root with my left foot and just couldn't recover. Just a few minor scratches and nobody was around to see my clumsy running. I really need to learn to pick up my feet more while trail running. I'm a slow learner evidently.

I had a great ride and run. Only passed about 4 people the time I was out there (a couple mountain bikers and a couple walking their dog). Such a nice place for a quite run with some nice views. It wasn't too hot today but I still got plenty sweaty. It felt so nice to get back on the motorcycle and have the wind cool me down on the way home. Definitely need to do this more often when the weather is like this!
