Rest of the Weekend

The wind on Friday knocked down what was left of the foliage and pushed out the warm air out. Saturday dawned cold and crisp. It was Maine Resident's Hunting Day, so I wore my orange and headed out around 7:00 out onto the safest "trails" I could find - the cart paths 😉 Seriously though, they are great for running. Soft underfoot but not littered with obstacles like singletrack and nice and rolling. The grass and bridges were frosted over and the sun was shining brightly with that early morning glow that is just so nice. I looped down to the river to check out the water - so pretty! Felt kind of tired, but lovely to be out. (8.0 miles)

We turned the clocks back overnight for daylight savings, which meant that the start of Sunday morning's 6:30 am meet-up with Emma was a daylight start! Hurray. Nothing like turning the clocks back to make an early morning runner happy for a few weeks before we descend into darkness once again! 

I drove down to their place in Falmouth and Emma took me on a lollypop loop from their house, part roads/part trail with some nice meandering along the Presumscot River and into the trails at Falmouth Community Park. Fun to explore on some new-to-me trails and catch up with Emma! (10.0 miles)

Once I got back, Ryan headed out to meet up with Emily for a run and then we all met up for donuts. Yum! 😋🍩 Then we rallied, err, dragged the kiddo out of the house 😂,  for a short but sweet afternoon walk around the Heath. Always lovely. (1.0 miles walked)

We finished up the weekend having dinner with Nate, Shannon and the kids. Always good to see them!
