Yesterday morning, it was cold and dreary.  Not boating weather but running was indeed possible.

It was 49 degrees so I took the opportunity to wear my new long sleeved shirt (that I was saving for my October Half Marathon), added a  jacket & capris and headed to the Corning bike path.

It was windy as well. Quite different weather conditions than Florida!!!!

My plan was to take it slow…. I usually don’t skip from 3 miles to 6 miles.  I didn’t want to get injured but I have to run 10 miles on June 23 so I better get training!!

The course which is usually full of dog walkers, bikers and runners was empty!  Maybe because it was cold, windy and about to rain.

I ran (with some walking breaks) 3 miles out before turning around.  My time was 32:32.

On the way back, I finally saw a few runners.  I also decided that I would try to negative split my run. I always run slower and slower.  Not this time. I finished in 31:32.

Then as soon as I got in my car.  It started to rain!

Perfect timing.

Today when I got up, the sun was shining!  Not warm but sunny!  Hooray!  Off to the marina we went.

We bumped into some friends and decided to head to West Dollar Island for a BBQ.

After some eating, we relaxed in the sun.

After our friends left, we drove to Log Bay and hung out there for awhile and then went to Basin Bay where we bumped into more friends.

Finally it was time to head back to the marina.

Such as perfect relaxing day. The only negative was that the water is still too cold to go swimming. (Not complaining…so happy that the rain stopped for one day!)

Hope you had an enjoyable Memorial Day!

Happy Running! How did you celebrate the holiday weekend?
