Today’s Early Morning Jog – Truckee Style

Yes, it was -15 degrees F this morning and yes there was about 18″ of snow in my backyard and yes, the streets were icy and slippery BUT I still got in my jog this morning.  Last night I decided to try out the new indoor track at the Truckee Donner Parks and Recreation Facility, opened as recently as Saturday.  May I say that it was AWESOME!!

I was afraid that I would feel intimidated by the hoards of runners that showed up at 6:30 am when it opened but I was alone on that track for 20 minutes before someone else showed up — and they weren’t intimidating.

There are accommodations for all levels of movers.  3 lanes include a separate one for walkers, the middle for joggers and the outside for runners.  This morning we were instructed by Ben that we would be going counterclockwise.  For some reason, perhaps variety, that will change every couple of days.  Besides the track, Ben was able to explain a few of the “Technogym” machines that are scattered alongside.  Nice to have such new and state of the art equipment.

Again, I am amazed at the fantastic opportunity we have realized in Truckee.   Now everyone should be able to stay in shape.   Don’t miss out — be sure to make your way over there before December 23rd as until then the facilities are free to District residents.
