First Run in the New Neighborhood
So, on Saturday, I did my first serious run, exploring the trails in my new neighborhood. I went a wee bit too late to see the sunrise over the hills, so next weekend I will try it 15 or so min earlier.
It’s not as spectacular as my old places, where at some point I ran out on the bluff above the river, and could run trails on the terrace, but it is a good trail, that winds between the houses for a while, and then cuts between the two parts of the private golf-course for a bit, so you can see alot of the suburbia, plains taking off in the distance, and, if someone got up earlier - a glorious sunrise.
There is quite a few possibilities to extend a run (I was aiming for 30 min, but when it came close to 40, I did a couple of loops around our cul-de-sack to add it to 45).
All and all, I think it will be very nice, and I am looking forwrad to exploring it!
In the weightloss news, this month is shaping up as rather tough for keeping food on track. Housewarming party for 40 people or so on the 12th, United Way Bake Sale on the 15th (that’s where the leftover cookies from the HW party go, thankfully!), United Way Taste Of on the 6th of October and my daughter’s 3rd birthday party on the 10th.
So, I am putting my plans on hold for the moment, and will restart with a stricter diet in mid-October. Meanwhile, I will just try to stay under 120. I am having my doubts about it being wise to go lower than 117 anyway, since I am just not at my best that low. We’ll see.

I wish our trails werent so dense. They are mostly used for 4wheelers, not runners. But I do live in a very nice & quiet neighborhood. I need to start running again.
thanks for the inspiration!!!
Whew…you made me tired just thinking about doing all that stuff. Your world sounds alot like mine..BUSY!
We dont have nice trails around where I live in Dublin. It’s too built up. But that run sounds really good Leida. Good to see you feeling good enough to run again!
oh sounds like you enjoyed your run and i am so happy you got to go out there.
And wow lots of food around you the next few weeks.. man just hearing that makes me want to run to the fridge not sure what is wrong with me latey. i gotta run i know that will make it all better.. i am so inspired to go running now.. thanks for that
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So happy our Leida got a great run in!
Sounds like a great run!! The sun rise run is gonna be beautiful too.
House on a private golf course? Sounds swanky! 
With your attitude and dedication, you’ll get through this mini-party season and meet your goals.
I just moved and have a new park to explore this weekend as a potential running site! I went walking a few days ago in the neighborhood, and there are some beautiful houses to enjoy while I walk.
