Exercising on the American River Trail

This was one of my favorite pictures of the exercise experience on the trail. Tyler was waiting patiently for refreshments... A beautiful view from the trail...

Giving up the wait for refreshments and heading to the halfway point (the bridge at the University), crossing the bridge to the other side and then heading back along the opposite side of the river. Tyler was biking the entire 5 miles and we were jogging/walking. FYI Chase was in the jogger being pushed by either his mom or Aunt Jenna.
Rob trekking along the trail...
Not sure why I'm so excited...I've still got about 2 miles to go!
Crossing the American River at the Watt Avenue bridge and looking down the river the way we came.
The end is almost in sight!
Chase came down the path to encourage his grandma to the finish line. Everyone else (Kate, Ryan, Tyler, Jenna and Rob) are already there. This is where I'm supposed to raise my hands and hear the cheers from the crowd as I cross the finish line. In actuality, I was just glad to finish! :)

I have definitely come to enjoy our 5 mile run/walks on Saturday mornings. Great pics. I love the one of Ty patiently waiting for the refreshments that never arrived. :) I can't believe he biked the whole thing. Ty is a trooper!!! :)

I was there. Doing it as a family makes exercising more than getting in shape. The five miles are shortened to a family outting. I was behind Chrise, most of the way; She jogged and I walked. The only reason I finished ahead of her was because I wanted to chech where my maximum heart rate stood.
