my daughter and i got out this morning for our planned 10K run from camp quaker haven where we're enjoying family camp to prairie view camp and back. we took it pretty easy the whole way there and back, running without stopping at all.
the run starts with a steep descent from the camp quaker haven entrance down to the river and then levels out a bit. there are a couple of small rises here and there along the way, but it's mostly flat.
we ran out to the gate at prairie view, touched it right at thirty minutes, turned around and ran back. the road had sections that were beautiful, shady, tree-lined. other sections meandered through wide open meadows. the mist lay over the meadows this morning and on the surface of the arkansas river. it was gorgeous.
when we got back to the hill, i climbed a bit faster than my daughter and ran around the heart of the camp and back to the entrance. she was just finishing as i came back up from near our cabin. she was pleased with her run. she'd finished it more than five minutes faster than her best time before. i finished it faster than i'd ever done it before too. pretty easy since i'd never done it.
we may try it again monday morning if we have time. we'll see.
