Running + Fall Weather = Happy Girl, Yep Yep that's where it's at

 Might be a little picture over load here, but due to so many bears in the area over the summer I really limited where I ran so I was happy to have some new scenery. Yesterday I decided I could run on the same routes I had been all summer, or go for it.  I went for it.  I was wearing my bear spray of course.

Such a great decision.  I am feeling really good since the half marathon on Sunday.  I wonder if that means I could have ran it harder? Maybe, but I was pretty pooped the last two miles, so I say nope. I am going to chalk it up to being in such great shape!

Don't these roads just seem to say "come run here"  I always think they do.

I swear this is like a happy spot picture, I could stare at it all day

 These girls were pretty curious about me.  I was busy trying to avoid their droppings on the road.

 Love love love these wide open spaces. 

Originally I was only going to do 5 miles, with the option of quitting at 4 if my legs were tired from the half marathon.  I ended up running 6 and I felt like I could have kept running and running.

These last couple weeks have been the best weather wise and all the colors on the trees are so beautiful right now too along the creek bottoms.

Yep yep, that's where's it's at.
