Feeling Like Old Times

Jones Dome 9/11/11.

This weekend, Aimee and I traveled to St. Louis for our long run on Grant's Trail. Running on the trail and driving through South County STL and Fenton to get to that trail made me feel like being back in Springfield.

Much like South Creek and Galloway Trails in Springfield, Grant's trail is about 8 miles long, paved, mostly flat, and runs through suburban communities. One big difference between Springfield Trails and Grant's Trail is the number of people using them. Aimee and I were never without another runner, walker, biker, rollerblader, or rollerblader being pulled by their dogs. Probably the coolest thing about Grant's Trail is running through Grant's Park and being able to see all the Budweiser Clydesdales.

After running, we spent the day in STL shopping and looking for new running shoes. We came across a couple new running stores in the area and familiarized ourselves with their websites in case we needed to find or register for a local race. We were excited to find some new shoes, which we ended up ordering online, and are ready for them to get here soon. Our fall running schedule is starting to hit full stride and now we'll be ready!

Rally Cap for the Braves (9/10/11) did not work.
