Valentine's Day Run

I met up with Valerie and Mindy for a run at Bradbury today. We were lucky to all have Monday free to play in the woods, and we had the whole park to ourselves - not another car in the lot enjoying the balmy mid-February weather. We headed out on the Snowmobile Trail, the miles ticking by as we chatted away. The snow surface was a bit mushy with the warm weather, but really, the trail in fine shape with a good solid, packed base. We turned around at 3 miles, and as we were turning, caught the sound of a woodpecker pecking away at a tree trunk. I also saw a few turkey prints meandering down the middle of the trail as we got closer to the park boundary. We finished up with 6 miles in 1:01:53. It was the sort of effortless, fun run that comes from not only having a great trail to run on but from having good company to run with  :-) Thanks guys!

The plan was to enjoy some deliciousness at Edna & Lucy's after the run, but I guess that will have to wait for another day - they were closed. Boo... So, we headed to Gritty's instead, which was good, of course, but just not quite the funky, gourmet sandwiches and treats that we had all been thinking about while running :-) Ah well, just another excuse to meet up and run at Bradbury together another day!
