It was time to get outside! And this beautiful place is a hop, skip and a jump from home. They have a lovely running loop through the woods around the reservoir. Perfect for our April date (that actually happened in May, ha!)
Scott and I have a history with running. I 'grew up running'. Joining the cross country team in fifth grade (because I would never go near a soccer ball or baseball for that matter... it might hit me in the face) and never stopped running. My dad is a runner (still at 75) and I watched him cris cross New England and run marathons when I was little. He made it look so easy. I ran my first 26.2 marathon when I was in my late 20's with a friend. And the very next year ran a marathon with my dad.
He's holding me up... as soon as we found Scott he drove me straight to a med center... but I smile when the camera is there... )
26.2 miles without stopping is a looooong way. Try it in your car. Hit the little mile thing and then drive. It's far. Needless to say, Scott and I didn't run anything like that. This was a DATE. I couldn't very well have bloody toes. I didn't even want to sweat that much.
I think I say this almost every month... but this was one of my favorite dates. (I didn't like the fancy restaurant dates)
Spring + nature + exercise... just a little... + Scott = love!!!
Here are just a few from the date
And I must say that we are not 'selfie' iphone photographers like the rest of the world. But we did our best. I'm more of a bring three lenses, the big camera, and a tripod when I want a photo of just the two of us.
It was a beautiful late afternoon. The sun was shining and it was a glorious 70 degrees!
Such a pretty place to run!
Running through the woods makes me feel alive! I love it! And I love this man I've been dating for over 25 years... almost 18 married. I'd run anywhere with you...
Well, you lost me....
ReplyDeleteI knew the day would come.
The day when I would discover something we didn't have in common...
You are a runner!
How did I not know this?!?!
I still love ya, Tara...
Maybe even more! : )
