It has been almost a week, since I have run on anything but city streets, so it was great to get back on the trails this evening. What made it even better, was the fact that, I was also able to run with one of the athletes who I coach.

I don’t get to workout with my athletes very often. Most of them live a long way away from me.  So when I knew that I would be visiting Minneapolis, I was excited to not only visit our daughter, but also to get to see one of my athletes.  He had been out of town, but fortunately we were able to get together, before I myself head out of town tomorrow.

He took me to his local park reserve, where he showed me some of his favorite trails.  The weather was perfect, there were no bugs in the woods and we had a great time. We ran for an hour and the time just flew by.

Tomorrow morning, I fly to Denver, for some vacation time in the mountains.  I am sure I will be back on the trails again in no time, once I get to Colorado.
