I decided to go back to Colonie Town Park to do my bike ride yesterday.  It was chilly but at least it was sunny.

I rode my bike toward Cohoes.  I knew this time that the way back would be uphill.

I parked my bike and decided to walk a little further to see where it went next.

 
These are  the train tracks that I heard about.  Some people have had wait for the train to pass when running the Hudson-Mohawk Marathon.

Eventually if you keep going, you can hit the Corning Trail on the Hudson River.  Don’t know how far, though.

I completed my 10 mile ride as I did last week and put my bike back on the rack.

I was itching to run but I know that I cannot so I decided to walk.

Walking is painful but it is allowed.  So I walked and walked and walked. I vowed to walk until I saw the Mohawk River.

bridges over 87N.(which crosses the Mohawk)

Then when I did, I kept walking and finally hit the end of the Nisky Trail (that I have run and biked.) Well, the end for me, at least.

I am glad that I walked it. It is quite hilly and my legs & bike brakes aren’t up to it.

I turned around walked all the way back.  It may have only been 4 miles but with a bum ankle, it felt like 10.

had to do it again - only 90 calories!!

They say “You have to crawl before you can walk.”  So I say “You have to walk before you can run.”

So I am walking…

Happy Running!
