RUNNING SOLO

Trailmomma has left town. I am currently on the east coast (or my coast) for a friend's wedding. Vans and the Peanut are not with me. Yes. I am staying in a hotel and traveling SOLO!! I miss my family so so much but as I sit here sipping a glass of Pinot Noir from the hotel bar, I realize I should have a peaceful and uninterrupted slumber in my nice queen size hotel bed. I should be thrilled right!? Then why does my heart ache just a little? I think this seperation will be good for Vans and Peanut. Both are capable of doing things without "momma." Yet, I miss them.
Not much I can do now. I am here until Sunday and Jersey Dad is making a special trip to meet me for lunch tomorrow. I am very excited to see him. Maybe I will get a picture of the infamous JD!!
Wednesday before I flew out I met my trail group for our Wednesday run. We did almost 7.5 miles with some tempo in the middle. My partner and I got too caught up in his wonderful news that we missed our second tempo set. Whoops!!
I am hitting the hotel treadmill tomorrow as they are calling for three inches of snow but Saturday's long run has been scoped out. Bethlehem PA, where I am right now, has the Sand Island bike path. If I can find it, I hear it is gorgeous. I have not done any snow or cold weather running in quite some time. This should be interesting. Especially since my friend's rehearsal dinner is Friday night.
But I have my Garmin, a hotel map and my phone should I get into any trouble.
I know most of my lurkers "tune in" for the Peanut pictures so I cannot dissapoint.




Having a good time with dad while momma is away.
