<p>Good morning! It's cool and cloudy here in NY's backyard this morning. Perfect for a run, so off I went for a 2.5 mile slow slog on a dirt road (mostly) between the reservoirs. I have to say that's my absolute favorite place to run. It's quiet and I saw 2 fishermen, 1 large dog and his human companion, and 2 slow cars. Also a squashed small turtle, 1 chittery squirrel and 1 super-fast chipmunk. Then I drove down to the gym and took 30 minutes of a yoga class before I had to leave for work. Yes, I have to work today....uber-bummer! Oh well; hopefully the day will go quickly.</p>

<p>I didn't have a chance to post yesterday. I had taken a spin class and then DH and I walked on our own little secret trail (not really a secret) which is a moderate uphill to a delightful little waterfall. Yesterday it was just a trickle and we were able to cross the stream and sit on a huge rock for a while and contemplate all that is good in our lives. What a lovely interlude in our day! It's only 1 mile in from the parking area, so it's close and quick. When my running is going well, it's a great trail run, especially the downhill return! Lots of variety in plant life and the trail itself is a single track that's in turn switchbacks, rocky, roots all over, and a few short wider flatter areas. DH and I like to take our horrible little dogs with us as 2 miles is a perfect distance for little stocky flat-faced french bulldogs. Truffle & Remy always get all excited when we take the harnesses out of the closet and they know they're going for a ride in the car.</p>

<p>Enjoy your day everyone and please keep your fingers crossed for a fast work day for me. GL to all the weekend racers!</p>
