My Easter Sunday run was eleven miles on the Towpath. The weather was fabulous--in the forties--and for once I didn't overdress and get irritated. Also, because I didn't run on any roads, I got to wear all black, which makes me feel like a badass.
I started my run at Botzum Trail Head, which is also a stop on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad line.

I continued on the Towpath towards Peninsula, passing by the Beaver Marsh.

Today is a day for gratitude, and I've got a lot of blessings to count. As I ran, I thought about my week of Spring Break, which I was lucky to get during the same week as my kids' Spring Break. Unfortunately, the three of us passed a bad cold/bronchitis around all week, but nobody had to miss school, so that is a plus. We did get one day of good health, where we hiked Whipp's Ledges in Hinckley.

My son conquered the Ledges like a boss. |
I was able to run outside this week, and I was able to do it whenever I wanted. On Wednesday I ran five miles in the evening with Shelby, and while I was grateful to run with her, it reminded me why I'm a morning runner, but there was no running at 4:30 AM this week, thank goodness. I even re-visited my favorite training grounds and saw a harbinger of better weather:

You know it's Spring when the water fountains are back on Sand Run. |
As I ran today, I took time to take pictures and reflect on how lucky I am to live near these beautiful trails. The next pictures are all of the Cuyahoga River, taken at points between Peninsula and Hunt Farm.
At one point, when I started feeling tired around the eighth mile, a deer bounded across the path, just in front of me. It was gorgeous, and it gave me the strength to continue with a smile.
All in all, this has been a great Spring Break, full of running and family and joy (and mucous--lots and lots of mucous). Right now my legs ache (in a good way) and I'm looking forward to legs-up-the-wall, a nap, and some good eats. In that order.
I am confident that my training is going well for the
Rite Aid Cleveland Half Marathon, and I look forward to meeting up with the other RunCLE Ambassadors soon.
Count your blessings and run happy, Peeps!

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2348105150446 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.
