Howell Island

Today was an open day since I did the long run yesterday.  Jim and I went to Howell Island Conservation Area in Chesterfield to hike.  We walked about 4 miles on the trail.  There are 8 miles of trails there.  It would be a good place for an easy run.  The terrain is flat.  The run could also be extended by continuing on the levee trail.

After a long run I take inventory of my body parts.  Legs feel good.  Knees feel fine.  Ankles feel great.  Feet have some sore spots.  I need to pay close attention to them.  I have a high tolerance for pain and can easily ignore aches.  I had a doctor once tell me, "Little hurts become big hurts if you don't take care of them".  I need to pay close attention to my feet.  I have new shoes but it may be time for different shoes.
