Have you tried the Curve treadmill? It’s an incredible workout and while I much prefer hitting the trails outdoors, today it’s pouring rain here in Phoenix so off I go.

See you Friday! I thank Rebecca Holden for sharing you with us, too!

Hi Amie! I haven't tried or even heard of the Curve treadmill. HA! :) I'm going to research it now, thank you. I'm so glad you can join us on Friday. YAY...look forward to meeting you Amie.

I totally agree Rebecca, it's amazing how many people are out running a walking on a cold winter day. Last Saturday while running at a state park we have close to home here, there were so many trail runners, hikers and wonderful friendly dogs with their owners all ready to say hello, or a short chat over a water break. On a treadmill at the gym, everyone is focused on the workout with headphones on. I'll do a treadmill workout, only because it's not safe to be outside due to thunderstorms or fires. Thank you for the great poem Julie!

I hear ya Beth! There is indeed a social aspect that I'm glad you mentioned. I love seeing the dogs that cross my path. Thank you so much Beth for reading and enjoy the trails.

Ooooh, thanks for the shout-out, Julie - most kind!

Lovely poem - I especially like 'Footprints to spot someone ahead to greet' - there's such community in running! Even on a chilly winter's day when you expect to see no-one, there are signs that others are still out there enjoying the fresh air!

Yes indeed! It is encouraging to know others are out there too. :) Thank you so much for reading.
