oh dear...

You know it has been too long when you have to remind yourself where your last blog post left you. (ooops - sorry, maman) ;-)

Last Friday, Mark and I decided to take the day off to relax a little. I find that happens often at this time of the year. That long gap without any stat holidays between New Years Day and Easter just makes you yearn to play hookie for a day.

I had a run scheduled for that day, and instead of trying to schedule it in sometime around our plans, I decided to map out the distance between where we have been dropping off Joshua for his March Break day camp and back home. The GPS place the run at 4km - which was perfect for what I hoped would be a nice relaxed run in the morning... scratch that; nice relaxed run doesn't do that run justice.... The spring weather added an extra "spring" in my set and the run ended up being almost perfect. The only thing that made it a little less than stellar... there was a fair amount of ice still left on the sidewalks making some parts of the run a bit precarious at times... but hey - I'LL TAKE IT!

I managed to keep a pretty good pace and was happy to see myself able to keep the pace the treadmill forces me to keep while still outside. In fact, as I got closer to our neighbourhood, I found myself needing to find some extra mileage in order to complete my scheduled run time!

I LOVE SPRING RUNNING!

Now if only mother nature would give us some of that weather again so I could enjoy the feeling of that beaming sun on my face again, I would be golden!
