TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Jacksonville Forest Park Hike and Run
This afternoon I spent 3 hours hiking and running the J-Ville Forest Park trails with a friend. Berry foraging was great, and wildlife was plentiful.
Disaster was narrowly averted at one point when I tripped and fell on a rocky part of the trail. Somehow I managed to somewhat control my fall by twisting, spiraling and rolling as I fell and spread out the impact over a greater area, and luckily avoided falling on all of the sharp rocks on the trail. A glancing blow to the knee was the worst of it, and a little ice should have me back to 100% in no time.
My running partner, who saw the fall. said it was the most graceful thing she'd ever seen me do. I'm not quite sure how to take that.......so, tripping and falling is the most graceful thing I do?

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
