6.5 hours and still moving strong ...

what a great weekend!  lots of running!  saturday was climbing day so i parked at the tai chi center on the 5th and ran up and around hockley for 3.5 hours.   i was a little sluggish when i first started, but that soon changed.  check out the columbine!


as i crossed airport road and was ready to run along the field behind the ski hill i came upon a sign that said, 'trail has been rerouted.'   holy krap!  the owners of that chunk of land - the van stralens - allowed a sweet new section of single track to be built.  it was AMAZING!
 

huge huge thanks to them for allowing this!
 

came across these as i was climbing up towards the 15th ...


my pathway on the way back!


i felt so strong and i was able to climb way more stuff than the week before.  i definitely think my sessions with eddy are paying off!  and the whole time i was running i kept looking forward to a big nasty coffee from the hockley general store!


i LOVE lilacs and couldn't resist grabbing a pic of these lovelies just around the corner from my place ...


great intentions for sunday!  i set my alarm for 5 and actually managed to get dressed and out the door by 5:30.  two reasons - i like early morning runs and figured it was a good idea to get used to them again.  that and i wanted to try and make the 10am crossfit class.   it definitely helps that i practically live in palgrave forest now. and check out this sunrise!!!!!


soooooooo beautiful ...


kool mossy thing ...


couple neat shots of fog coming up off the ponds ...



not bad at all.  a few creaky moments, but overall a good run!  3 hours of morning trail bliss with only one face plant.  and i made it into crossfit!  yeehaw!


but best of all - i'm heading to kelowna on thursday to see THIS kid ...


CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!!!
