Oops, I didn't do it again

Well, three days since my last post and I still have not run. I actually have not run since the 6th! Yikes! I did, however, go on a 16 mile bike ride today with my pal J. After church, i found myself childless for the day. ( Aidan just had to go to his cousins for the day..and then over night...and now all day tomorrow!...I almost cried thinking of being home alone all night without him!:(...but they are having too much fun together!) So, I was on my my way to run...but my knees just weren't feeling it. Honestly, I just wasn't feeling it either. I felt like just running would waste the beautiful day and my enjoyment of it. WHAT you say? Well, running is hard work and it is painful and not pretty...no matter how much I love it. I wanted to enjoy the leaves and the crisp air. So i decided on a trip down one of our local rail trails. It winds through the woods, over bridges that span a long curvy creek and there is also an old train tunnel through one of the hills. On the way back I had to stop and climb up the steep rocky hill and out onto the ledge that is the top of the tunnel entrance, about 40 feet up!!! What a great pic! A passerby that my pal knew had a camera so if i ever get the pic I will post it! All in all it was a lovely day and I did get some decent crosstraining in. I am looking for my motivation to get out and run again! I hope I find it by tomorrow because I am planning on getting up around seven to get out for a long wog(walk/jog). I will let you know how it goes!
