Forsythia Bushes all in a Row

I know I keep whining about the kids being home for Spring Break---really, I love my kids and I love spending time with them, but not going away for the break and trying to train for my 1st 1/2 marathon which is 2 1/2 weeks away is challenging with them home.

Today RayRay was meeting someone at the house---recently our hot tub went on the fritz and needs to be replaced---I know perfect timing--I was looking forward to getting in that thing after my long runs.  Anyway, I managed to sneak 5 in; unfortunately, I had to do it before I consumed coffee---I NEED coffee in the morning.

Ran without IPod---just my thoughts to keep me company.  Birds were out in full force.  

I love this time of year and since it was raining the last few days, everything was glistening and smelling fresh.  The forsythia's are all a bloom.

Garmin connect is down this morning---you know how I love looking at all that post run data;(
