Hit It Up (Rural) Style

We are visiting my mom this week in Upstate NY.  This morning, Scott and I decided to go for a run while Kellen was napping.  We took advantage of the free babysitting (AKA-Grammy).

The town my mom lives in is perfect for a nice morning run.  The village lies in a valley so it is nice and flat (read-not too strenuous).  There are sidewalks and/or wide shoulders on the village streets, and there is minimal traffic (there isn't even a traffic light!).  Another plus is that there is lots of scenery along the town loop.  Bucolic, some might say.   We jogged passed cute houses on quaint streets, cornfields, cows, horses, alpacas, and creeks.

Running with Scott is motivating.  He is faster than I am (which is SOOO not fair considering that I run a lot more regularly than he does) so he pushes my pace.  The weather was gorgeous-sunny with a cool breeze.  We had a great time getting some exercise and spending time together.  The best part?  Bubba was still sleeping when we got back from our 3-mile jaunt!


Today's run gets a 2!
