We did the 5-mile loop at Ridley Creek State Park today. Gorgeous setting. There’s a pretty serious half-mile uphill climb at one point that had my old ticker knocking, but it was a great circuit all the same. I’m going to try to get up to 10 miles within a couple of weeks.

This is really outstanding progress. You’ll be tackling those 10 miles in no time!
I went for a run by Wissahickon Creek today and I was amazed at how the change of scenery made the run that much more pleasant.
Frank,
Did you walk this or bike this?
My god man, I would need a GPS device or a guide to get me through that maze!
I’ll bet Amelia Earhart is lost somewhere in there.
OMG! Wow! Tour De France, here comes Francois!
BMIML, it was great to change scenery. The weather was good — shady and 72. I need that or I get overheated.
Pax, this was on foot. LOL, I’m the worst at directions in the entire world…I had Sheryl the Navigator with me, thank goodness, or I would have gone all Amelia Erhart on myself.
Pinky Bear, I have the name, not the stamina. LOL.
After doing some seiou uphill walking in Italy earlier this month, I have altered my treadmill routine by replacing some time running with some walking up a steep incline. IT really is a workout.
We need to do a whole hiking/biking thing when I come out next time.
How far ahead of you was Sheryl?
Rick, Sheryl took pity on me because she can be as far ahead of me as she wants.
Sarcasmom, I was pretty amazed at the hill workout. It was great…my heart was pounding.
Nice going Frank! Looks like a great five miles.
