Barking Mad To Run
So when I did my San Antonio Riverwalk run/walk yesterday after work, I took my new camera that I won in a raffle and played around with it, taking some photos of some of what I see when I do my Riverwalk outings. So here are the photos - they came out pretty nice - and hopefully all of you winter folks who are still waiting for the real Spring to come will enjoy some views of sunshine, water, etc. During this run/walk it was 85 degrees and sunny for me.
I started out on the 'quiet side" of the Riverwalk...no tourists, businesses, etc, just the water, bridges, the pathway, some nice houses along the river.
This is the historic "Pioneer Flour Mill" owned by one of the settling families of San Antonio, the Guenthers. The mill makes White Wing Flours, tortilla shells, etc, you may have seen some of their products. The mill also has a restaurant that does a super Sunday brunch.
This is one of the bridges I cross over during my one of my Riverwalk routes
Starting to get closer now to where the 'touristy' area is
This is the Arneson River Theater where, a long time ago, I met Sandra Bullock for all of about a minute when a portion of "Miss Congeniality" was being filmed here.
Heading back out to the quiet side again.
This newly built ramp is very convenient, easy to run up to get to the bridge crossing the river, with no stairs to climb
Back on the quiet side, near historic King William District, a ritzy neighborhood full of 19th century mansions.
Back to the bridge I started near....and was done about 5 minutes past it.
It's a very nice little run, about 4.1 miles worth. Y'all come visit, you hear?

Nice pics, Scotty.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Wow!
I ran 9 with 7x1k with 2 minute recoveries. It was discouragingly hard and I felt heavy and sluggish.
