Sweating on the Salado Creek Greenway

Courtesy: San Antonio Parks & Recreation

Saturday morning was a total sweat fest in the San Antonio heat and humidity.  But that's no excuse to not got a good workout in during my long weekend visit.  Definitely a good morning to hit the trail and sweat on a run with my close friend Christy.  We jumped on one of her regular routes, the Salado Creek Greenway, for a nice run/walk.  It turned out being more a run with a couple of walk breaks.  We hit the trail off of Huebner and ran to Harberger Park, named after my favorite former mayor of San Antonio.  It's 2.3 miles each way.  There are actually 23 miles of the Greenway open.  this was my first chance to run on this section.  You can definitely see the signs of drought but thanks to clouds we had a great run.  It's such a treat for me to run with a great friend since I do a lot of my cardio workouts solo.  So we went down and back then ran at least another mile to meet some friends walking the Greenway.  We did at least 6.6 miles, walking about 1.25 miles of it.  Not bad for a Saturday morning outing!

One note if you do the Greenway.  Take water.  There are no fountains or access to water along the way.  On a humid morning you'll be thankful you have your water bottle with you.

Get your sweat on and head over the Salado Creek Greenway.  It's a great path to run, walk or bike!
