Where's your stomping grounds?

10 miles on the schedule today.  I ended up with a little over 11 miles at Stony Creek today.  We ran with a bunch of guys.  There must have been 10 of us.  I enjoy running in a group like that.  It makes the time pass quickly.  Here's what we did:

We did one loop at Stony Creek and then did an out and back out of the park to Dequindre.  It's a very good run and gives you some challenges as well.  We thought the mileage was about 10 miles but we were off over a mile.

Speaking of Stony Creek Metropark.  This is our training grounds, especially for winter training.  We also train on the Paint Creek Trail as well but much of our training gets done at the park.  It's an incredible resource!  They have bike trails, running trails, paved running, lots of road for distance cycling, swimming at the lake, and a nature center.  You get all this for only $25/year!  There's always something to do and see throughout the year.  Here's some pictures mostly taken while running.  Enjoy!

This is the coldest run I've ever done at Stony.  The regular temperature was around 10 degrees.

You caI hope you enjoyed seeing where my regular running is done.  Of course, most of this is done on the weekends since I run outside my home during the week and it's usually dark then.

Where is your regular running done?

Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!
