This past Friday, I did a 2.45 mile run at Purgatory Creek Park. My legs were really sore, so I walked more than I wanted to at the start, but then ended up running along just fine after I got properly warmed up.
I figured I’d do a photo post, so you can see what the trail looks like. It’s like I’m bringing you along for my run. I took most of these pictures on Friday September 02, 2011 but some of them were taken earlier in the year.
