Make Way For Ducklings

Ducklings swimming

I had a great run on Saturday am along the canal. It was my longest post baby run and ended up being about a mile longer than I anticipated, but it was a beautiful day and it felt good. Spring has happened while all the rain and gloom were going on. And these ducklings just made the run that much sweeter.

Route: along the canal, to bridge 7 (9 miles total)

Sunshine

Sunshine on the canal.

It's been a cold spring. After a glorious March, the gloom has hit. So cold and wet and miserable, it feels like it has settled into my bones. The kind of weather that makes one want to eat a lot of soup. And bread.

Leaving for this run, I kept hoping that I'd warm up. I always dress a little on the cool side because I sweat a lot and usually end up quite hot. But with the wind I couldn't warm up. When I turned onto the canal the sun was shining - it felt like the first time in a while. The sun on my face felt great. It was so pretty that I had to take the photo.
