The skies were clear..sun was out here in Sacramento and the weather was just perfect.
Its been awhile since I hit the pavement and because I been compromising with the weather conditions and settling on the treadmill....my legs were just so excited to hit the trails.
Neal and I got to the Howe Ave. trail around 8:30am. I was shooting for 7am, but I had 2 extra glasses of wine the night before that I shouldn't have had.
The trails was surprisingly busy with a lot of dog walkers, bikers and fellow runners..I was hoping everyone decided to sleep in since it was the day after valentines day and presidents day..but i guess everyone was thinking the way i was.
After breaking my 1.5mile warm-up, I was pumped up with adrenaline and wanted to speed up a little more. But Neal's shins were starting to cramp up so we slowed down a bit.
Mile 3 was our turn-around point (Watt Ave.) ..it started to get warmer and I was down to 1 water bottle..
On our way back, a deer was about 3 feet away from us and I ran away from it and almost got hit by a biker!..ugh sometimes bikers can be so inconsiderate and feel like they own the trails. Its so annoying how they sometimes take over the entire side. Bikers etiquette?!?!
Runners follow the trail rules..I think runners should too.
We finished at 1:03 and went to Denny's right after..yum
Love you Hun..had a great weekend.
