I was sounding my Whitmanesque Barbaric Yawp after running a hot-as-hell-humid 7 miles at Riverfront Park with Ann-Marie whose taking the picture. I haven't been out here in years and they have certainly changed it for the better. They have a bathroom and water at the Diversion Dam at the end of a 2 1/2 mile walk which comes in handy on days like this!! Plus, and a big plus it is, they are combining it with Three Rivers Greenaway on the other side which will eventually join trails on the Saluda River to make a super long walk or run. For those millions of readers who may not know Columbia, the Three Rivers Greenaway is where the Broad and Saluda meet to form the Congaree. The canal pictured was built to get small boats and cargo past the rocky shoals on the Congaree and is a separate trail on the other side of the river. It is already an attractive place for walkers, runners, bikers (they have separate trails down by the river), birders, strollers, skateboarders and nature enthusiasts in general. I did a decent time of 7 miles in 1:12:31 at 10:22 per mile on a very hot day!! Ann-Marie did an accelerated walking pace and continues to shed the pounds. A great day all around.
