exercise note: Hello Springtime
Mar. 20th, 2010 04:22 pm1 week after 56 miles, I'm back. :)
I had a lovely trail run of 16 miles today to celebrate the first day of Spring. I hadn't been back up to Monte Sano since the Mountain Mist race, but the mountain and I are good again now. :) I picked up the speed when I wanted to, I slowed down when I wanted to; I (Old-Momma-Goat-Gruff) danced my way over the Goat Trail. I sometimes smiled and laughed just for the joy of it. There were flowers blooming, wild white daisies and some sort of small purple blossoms. Was warm and partly sunny. I wore my dusty trail shoes, black capris, grey Black Warrior tech shirt...and hot neon pink socks.
There were LOTS of folks at the park today enjoying the weather outdoors, but I still had plenty of quiet alone time on the outer trails.
When I got back home, I toasted the day with a goblet of Pom brand pomegranate-cherry juice.
And, THANKS to my dear daughter, I am now registered (and in training) for the Chattanooga Mountains Stage Race: 60 Miles/3 Mountains/3 Days in June.
