Happy Spring!

Tulip Festival, originally uploaded by Kadacat (Marlene).

The Tulip Festival officially started on Friday. Spring colours and everywhere. The green is popping out on the lawns and trees and the birds are singing happily.

I have not been very diligent with my blog lately - no reason specifically - just had nothing to say, I guess. I am still running, although I also need to update my training log. I haven't been to WW for a few weeks although I am still on the weight loss band wagon as well - just not as diligent since I am putting so many running miles on.

This morning we are running 18K - the weather is perfect so it should be fun. Only one more long run after this before the big event - Ottawa Race Weekend. I am feeling so much better with my running since changing my training program to a slower pace. I definitely started out too quickly after coming back from my injury.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with Mellisa. We had a wonderful time trapsing through the beautiful magnolia trees at the Arboretum and then the flower beds at the Agriculture Farm before we hit the tulips at Commissioner's Park. I am still going through the 250 photos I took yesterday and am pretty happy with a number of them. Some may even get printed for the wall.

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

what a beautiful capture. The flower behind it looks like a mirror - very cool.

I had a great time yesterday. We will have to do it again soon.

Enjoy your 18k. I am going to crawl out of bed now.... lol
