I returned to the Yorktown Victory Center today for another run. It was about 40 degrees and a bit windy, but the sun was shining and the water on the York River was bright blue and glistening. I stopped to take a few pics during my run, and I also walked around a bit afterwards to take some more. It's become my favorite training spot, because I love running amongst the historic sights. It keeps my mind focused elsewhere besides the throbbing pain in my legs. All in all, I felt good while running, and I completed 4.2 miles. Very pleased! Here are some of the sights/views I enjoyed while passing through:
 |
| Yorktown Victory Monument - Commemorates the victory over the British in the concluding battle of the Revolutionary War. |
 |
| Part of the running path near the York River |
 |
View of Riverwalk Landing from the pier
|
 |
Nelson House - Home of Thomas Nelson, the Governor of Virginia during the Revolutionary War, Commanding Officer of the Virginia Militia, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
|
And then there's just me!
 |
| Very happy I met my goal of 4 miles for the day! |
I love running around historic sites! It always motivates me to run further because I'm constantly asking what's just a bit further! Hope your runs are going well!
