What city do you live in that you can drive to such a rural setting so easily to run (Midwest)? I think I would have to drive 50 miles to find silos.
Got a tip for us?

There is a lot of traffic in my City with ignorant/reckless drivers that don’t have any care for runners, and I find running out towards the countryside has much less traffic and is more wide-open with scenery. When I run, I don’t listen to any music and I just focus on my running on the roadway, the last thing I need is some driver that’s not paying attention in overcrowded city that could potentially hit me, Which its amazing how quiet and much less traffic there is outside the city limits.

Beautiful day yesterday morning but just a tad cool (42ºF/6ºC). High pressure and cloudless. Not quite ready for a longer run yet so I did 22 minutes of Elliptical at LA Fitness before run. Then a decent but slow 6 miler. First mile was a respectable 7:45 but slowed and stopped a lot (took some pics). Still good to be out running again.
Pollen.
Cloudless blue sky to start.
Cumberland Parkway across I75.
About to head down on the Bob Callan trail.

(Rare) April snow moved in yesterday. This was right before the run and the snow just started in this picture, we actually received around 6 inches in the end. During my run, it’s much harder to run in the snow with the added resistance, as it’s like running in the sand. Makes it difficult, but solid run nonetheless.

Very chilly 40ºF/4ºC morning but clear and light winds. Ran around Cumberland and through The Battery. Was a little slow and stoped at 5.5 miles.
Sun is rising earlier and weight training before run.
About to head out. Beautiful cloudless sky agin, except for the clouds over Toys R Us.

Heading North on the West side of the Cumberland Boulevard loop.
Lane widening and new wide sidewalks on other side too.

Prior to the run, again. This snowfall is highly rare for this time of year, especially being in April. I have to say, there is something intriguing and motivating running in the snow, perhaps a different scenery, but I absolutely love it. Most who drive past me look at me with a weird stare on their face, Probably because nobody else is running in temperatures and weather conditions that I do.
Did a 6.25 miler. Was cloudy, damp and a little cool (>50ºF).
Raining (misty drizzle) when I got to the gym to do weights.
Rain has stopped but cloudy so MUST run.

First trail run since early fall of last year. Finally recovering from plantar fasciitis and was a beautiful day for the trails. Went down to the ‘new’ Park Service parking lot. They cut a new trail from the lot down to the river. Took a LOT of pics.
Perfect weather and about to head into the reserve.
New parking lot.
New trail entrance.

Yes, the Clif Buliders is a really good protein bar especially for the $s. I keep a few in the freezer fo when I'm out or on the road. However post workout I like to get a quality protein without any 'fillers'. I make a shake only using protein powder, (un-processed0 cocoa powder and stevia.

Was planning on for a run yesterday and today. But since I shoveled over 2 1/2 hours yesterday for an all time record shattering epic snowstorm, and another 16 inches to add today, I won’t be running at all, and all my time will only be invested in shoveling. This is the most wild April weather I have ever seen in my life. I can’t even find my front porch. Complete white out conditions.
Look at the second picture of the snowfall that is literally up to my neighbors window.

Six foot drift along side my house. Literally spent four hours of shoveling and approximately two more to go through tomorrow.
Excellent work out though. (With proper lifting techniques with heavy snow.)
The snow is approximately 4 feet deep from this picture between the two houses.

Went to Atlantic Station’s LA Fitness and did 20 minutes Stair Climber and then went for a run. Ran through midtown and Piedmont Park. Then back up 10th St. Kind of slow but a nice run. Dreary weather but still took a few pics.
Crossing the Connector on 17th St. from Atlantic Station to midtown with downtown to far right.
Now that a WIDE sidewalk (about 15’).
Next to the IBM building.

Another trail run from Thursday on the 'other' side of the National Park.
After a rainy dreary day the next morning and still rainy and dreary had almost no problems using any equipment since it was very sparse.
