Today I was supposed to run 10 miles and with all that mileage at my disposal, I finally ran on part of the Des Plaines River Trail. I hit the Old School Forest Preserve and as I jogged along those beige gravel paths that felt so good on my knees, I had massive flashback moments to my childhood when my family would take long bike rides on these trails. I marveled at how this trail, originally what had been such an arduous journey via bicycle, has now become something so easy for me to experience by running. I've come a long way athletically since then.
Also on the path, I saw one deer grazing, and then as I stopped to take pictures of her, I noticed that there was another doe behind her.
My run was very scenic and pretty, however the sky was overcast. I apologize for these pretty low-quality photos, but I assure you, it was a feel good run (despite the crazy distance that I ran) and it was feel good weather with feel good scenery.

This wasn't part of my run, but the sky was so pretty that I had to take a picture of our apple tree.
