The bike paths around this area go on for miles and miles. Saturday's long run, 12 miles, was run on bike paths all but 2.5 miles (my house to the bike path) .. and that was just one of the many routes.
Saturday morning, I saw more than a dozen bicyclists. Three of them were in 'professional' gear. I also saw a husky dog :)
The route I took ran along the river on the south side. The north side route goes on for many more miles ... planning to do that route for my 20 miler.
Some pictures from the run:
Glorifying the Lord as a Child of God, a Wife, a Mother, a Homeschool Teacher, a Homesteader, and a Runner
Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. Thus I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight as if I were shadowboxing. No, I drive my body and train it, for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. - 1 Cor 9:24-27
