6 miles on the rail trail.  Did 1 mile warm up then 3 miles at 8:40 with 1/2 mile jogs inbetween, 1 mile cooldown.  

Felt good to run fast.  Hope my body holds up :)

2 miles in the hood.  Got to try out my new head lamp in the dark this morning.  The birds were singing like crazy and I noticed flowering buds on the trees ... yeah!

11 miles on the rail trail.  There must have been some kind of small 5K because I was passing people running the other direction, with bibs.  Then onlookers started clapping for me like I was in the lead of the run.  I guess the 5K was an "out and back" run.  Then I got to the start/finish line of the 5K (I didn't cross it :), I turned around and now I was able to cheer on the runners heading toward the finish.  It was a nice distraction and start to my run, this all happened in the first 4 miles. 

The next 7 miles were on a part of the trail that always has fewer people.  I was able to get lost in my music and thoughts.  On the way back, I saw a group of soldiers from my husbands National Guard Unit.  I cheered them on too.  Just a simply cheerful day!
