Six Mile Creek Greenway is only 1 mile?

As most people know running is not my thing. I work it into a workout every once in a while but I never head out with the intention to run. I also get bored with looking at the same old stuff on my route and I must admit I dread the distraction of having to talk to neighbors when I walk around AV. So I am always looking for other options. And that's what I did today. I stopped at the very southern part of the greenway. I pass it all the time. I have even pulled in the lot once to check it out. And it is a 2miles out and back. I figured this was in line with what I wanted to do with my day. So I headed out - stopped at Target first I needed dog food and some $50 of other stuff - wish I could pin point how that happened - oh yeah it's Target. Then I wento Earth Fare. Not a normal occurence for me but they seem to be the only place to carry aloe vera juice these days. It's a digestive aid if you must know. I usually drink it in shot form with my breakfast. I've been trying to figure more out about all its good properties but most googling leads to web-sites trying to sell it to you. And from there I went to Six Mile Crek Greenway. I am not even sure where Six Mile Creek runs. It was a nice course. It was predominantly paved with some boards. And there was a little sign of the creek here and there. It was pretty shaded and flat. So it was an easy outing. I thought this might be worth while as a regular occurrence. Keep reading to see if that actually becomes the case. From there I went to HT and bought lots of fruits. I made some home-made orange strawberry banana juice for the week. And a fruit salad with cucumber. I figure if Bath & Bodyworks can combine cucumber & melon why can't I. I also bought spaghetti squash for a fruits pretending to be veggies mix for lunch. And a pineapple and other things for grilling for dinner. Of course evenything else under the sun looked so appetizing but I did good and steered away from them. Let's see if I can make it to Wednesday. Which is actually an issue --- client meeting and said client LOVES this southern cooking restaurant for lunch EVERY time we are there. And to tell you the truth - I don't know that they have anything remotely healthy. Thursday is another client meeting - I think I will be able to get away with not so healthy salmon that day.
Well I am trying to motivate to hit the water. So I best go do that.
