South Chagrin Reservation


Had an 8:15am dentist so I was unable to join the Vertical Runner Training group for the Saturday group run, after the dentist did some shopping with the kids including stopping at half price books to see what the have got, then I dropped the kids of at home and went for my run.

Drove down to the South Chagrin Reservation, I parked at the Harper Road picnic area, the plan was to do 14 but I am not quite sure how many miles I did since the Garmin had a hard time finding signal, problem is that the last time I used it was when we were in Hawaii and so it kept on asking if I had move hundreds of miles even thou I kept saying yes but it still couldn't find a strong signal. Ran for 2:14:13

Initially I stayed on the asphalt but I eventually went on the trail, even thou I would love to run the trails I have to put safety first but because the trees had lost there leaves, the trails weren't heavy wooded so I can see through in most cases. I had a blast jumped log, crossed river, climbed down and up hill, my shoe was muddy and so was my pants. I found the above waterfall on my run, so after my run I went home and got my family to show them not sure they were that impress.

We i got back home I watched my aunt 80th birthday video and then got in the tub for a long hot soak.

Am joining the Vertical Runner Training Group in most cases to have running partners for the long runs and just to have people to talk running with since nobody in my immediate family or around me is interested.
