Walk/Jog 51:50 4.91 km (10:34 / km) +51m 10:03 / km
ahr:132 max:154 shoes: 2015 Altra LP2.0-9 lime
From Water Street Park in Hellertown, exploring road and trails across the Saucon Creek. Low 70s, cloudy, and humid (I was drenched with sweat when I finished).
There's the potential for a trail W along the Black River west of Creek Rd but it looked pretty overgrown, so I didn't go there. Late winter/early spring looks like a more favorable time to try it.
Instead I continued up Creek Rd until I could cross Saucon Creek (foot traffic only there), then explored some bike trails and paths along the creek and through the Thomas Iron Site (when the creek trail petered out).
AOWN...1) sent a great blue heron up the creek when I ran along it, then startled it again further along (parts of the creek were in mist from the humidity...neat atmosphere). 2) watched butterflies on some of the plants in the Thomas Iron Site, and almost stepped on a garter snake eating an earthworm! 3) off an unused part of the old rail bed (north of where the rail trail ends) there was a partial deer skeleton complete with head with antlers, minus the lower jaw and some leg bones.
Fun outing, even if I didn't run the whole thing.

Yoga 50:00 [1]
Deanna's new Wed night yoga class, advertised as a repeat (mostly) of Monday's session for neck and shoulders.
I skipped yesterday's vinyasa because I wasn't sure how intense Mercy's class would be on shoulders (we usually do a lot of down dogs and twists), so skipped it yesterday...turns out another participant was dealing with an injury and they didn't do either.
