Sunny Sunday and we were #running #trails in the #rivervalley —here’s some video

8r4d #running #trails on a Sunday morning in the sunshine was a great way to round out the weekend which has been a little cloudy and cool otherwise #rivervalley

8r4d A seven kick #running adventure through the #trails of the northeast #rivervalley made for a wild Thursday evening.

8r4d Technically we’ve got a couple months until our mountain #hike and backpacking adventures but we we’re down in the #rivervalley again this Saturday morning doing another practice slog with C&A thru the woods. I took them on a winding trek through the snaking trails of Flat Pete where every cyclist in the city had also decided to visit today. But the sun was out and the birds were chirping and the dog was having the time of her life, so all the twists and turns were less dizzying and more captivating. And the ladies climbed a big pile of rocks to replicate a photo of their daughters from more than a half decade ago.

8r4dsfeets Oh the North Saskatchewan River is high this week thanks to all the #rain … #rivervalley

8r4d Day 27 of my May #running streak and I opted to head down to the #rivervalley to get some sunshine trails in. Back on Friday I ran up by the drop off… well the drop off overlooks this particular park span between the two footbridges, or where I was down running this evening. My 3k route (x2 out and back) made for a 6k run and an encounter with about a hundred people out walking, biking, running, or riding one wheeled motorized unicycles.

8r4dsfeets About twenty years back a trio of houses collapsed into the #rivervalley and nothing was ever rebuilt there. Now all that remains is a view and some remnants of their driveways.

8r4d Friday is a tough day for a #running streak run if only because A we just ran last night and B I’ve usually got stuff going on in the evening so I need to do an afternoon or even a morning run. Today was one of those even a morning run, so I drove somewhere different and did some loops in a nearby neighborhood to add to my gauntlet. Nicely I got that awesome #rivervalley drop off view a couple times.

8r4d What’s a good #rivervalley walk without some good #bridge photos?
