mayberry trails

running on trails is so much better than running on pavement! the air seems cleaner, the workout is tougher, and you get to take stretch breaks when you come across a nest of owls. what could be better than that?! today was my first day running with the northville road runners club. such a nice group of people, friendly, outgoing, and a variety of different levels. i of course needed to run with the slowest members, but they didn't mind my pace or my need to walk, and i enjoyed the conversation the entire way. such a great way to start a saturday! i ran approx. 3 miles on hilly terrain which was challenging but a great workout. after the run we headed to joseph's, the local coney island, for the "special"- two eggs, 4 strips of bacon, a pile of hashbrowns and two pieces of toast-- for less than $4. you can't beat it! after a quick stop into a clothing boutique on our way back to the car, we headed home to clean up my sister's wounds after tripping and falling down a hill. next up, a trip to the spa for a much needed 60 minute massage. why can't all days go like this?
