12 miles on a beautiful morning!

The house is empty so I've got a few minutes to get online! Met everybody (Kathy, Patti, Kathy) at Panera to do the FitClub south and back route.. Jill was meeting us up at the wabash trail head up off of Wabash ave where the water is usually sat out. She had lots of things going on today and needed to get a little bit shorter run in.

It was a beautiful, cool morning and quite the change from last Saturday!! We met at 6:00 and it was just us there to start out, but when we were headed back from FitClub and stopped at the water stop on the trailhead, there were lots of familiar faces who were running 8 today. They were abe amblers who are keeping up the mileage to do Decatur in a few weeks. Mary, Penny, Nancy, lots of people! And as we turned off the trail and looked back, there were even more coming in! Kevin and Kaiden took to the trail out by us to do 7, as he's keeping up the mileage too.


12 felt really good this morning and I am enjoying the tapering.. just a couple more weeks!!


Got home last night and decided to take a good look at all my outside flowers ... thinking fall here.. to see if any maintenance needed to be done. A little early yet, but did get some dead heading and weeding taken care of. I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed that one of the seculants in my big strawberry pot had bloomed! I noticed the stalk coming up a week or so ago, but didn't know it would bloom!! Took a couple of pictures:
