Weekend Fun

5 miles

9:23 avg pace

My mind wanted to run last week but my body apparently needed a full rest week post-marathon.  I went for a run last Friday and my quad was still a little sore.  I decided to rest over the weekend and start up again today.  I felt fine today but didn’t want to push it.

I want to get in a good “base maintenance” week (not sure what else to call it) since I leave for Ireland in a week and won’t be running while I’m over there.  Matt and I did look for races to do in Ireland and we found one – the County Clare Marathon – but it’s not going to work out schedule-wise.  We were going to do the “mini-marathon” (as they call it) of 6 miles.  A complete and total fun run.  I’m bummed.  It would be nice to be an international racer 🙂

So Saturday was our date day/night and we started off by going to a dog park in Radnor.  Radnor is a posh suburb of Philly, also known as the Main Line.  We (and our Honda) don’t fit in.

It was a beautiful day.

Hawk played around in the creek…

and looked for squirrels.

A photo shoot ensued.

After Hawk was sufficiently exhausted, Matt and I headed into Philly for drinks, dinner, and a concert.  It was a good day.

How was everyone’s weekend?  Any races or good training runs?  Tell me about it, I’m in running-withdrawal!
