Finally a day that feels like spring!

As I said yesterday, it was too beautiful outside to not run some more miles. And the area where the race race took place was so nice that I decided to stay put and run there.

I heard that the 10k had better views so I decided to go that way.  I wasn’t going to run 6.2 miles — just maybe 3 more.

It was farmland and mountains in all directions.

No traffic at all.

A sign that I was not in the city any more.

Definitely a dairy farm area.

I miscalculated and wound up with 3.5 extra miles.

I think I made the right decision to run the 5k.  I won a pie and I got my miles in as well.

Afterward, I decided to take a different way home.  On my run I saw a sign for a yarn store and a zoo.

Well, I found neither but I did take a delightful ride along the Hudson River.

At one point, I had to stop and take the pictures above.  The spray of the water was breathtaking.

I continued on my way and arrived in familiar territory — where my hubby and I used to fly his plane (it got destroyed by ice several years ago). And I stopped at our favorite ice cream place – Bubbles diner.

At that point, I headed back to the highway toward home to do some mundane things like grocery shopping, laundry, etc.

Today, was another spring-like day.  I had promised to take my mentee’s kids to the the butterfly exhibit at a local museum.

We had a lot of fun with the butterflies.

As well as the other fun hands-on science activities.

After a stop at Mac Donald’s to pick up lunch, we  headed to the park to eat and play on the playground.

It was warm but quite windy.  Perfect for flying kites.

What warm day would be complete without a stop for ice cream on the way home. So we did.

This was my rest day but boy am I tired!!

Happy Running! What did you do to enjoy the warm weather?
