As noted during the week last week, we had a race to do at Callaway Gardens on Sunday, so Saturday was mostly a travel day. The weekend was a long onethough, being Labor Day here in the states, so Monday was open for some play time. I was in need of a nice little post race recovery run, so I went and did a little exploring in the area. I knew there was a small trail loop down by the Chattahoochee River that I had not found a chance to explore before, so off I went.

The trail itself is very nice, though sitting where it does, there are some odors that might be a little much for some.  There is some nice wildlife to be seen as well. The whole thing is about a mile loop around, and can easily be worked into a pretty comfortable 10 mile loop including most of the Azalea Rd/Riverside Rd greenway system.  In addition, the traffic is light while the path itself is really quite good with few roots or large rocks to negotiate, making it a nice place to run for someone that is normally a ‘road’ runner.

Of course we also had the triathlon, which will get a full race report in a day or so, once time allows.  The short version though,  we arrived, we swam, we biked, we more or less ran.  We finished, and we got to represent our friends at Endurance House Atlanta.
