Why I love cross training days

Marathon training is going well so far.  We have incorporated more cross training into our regular training plan and I am loving the chance to see things like this...


Bluebonnets on the trail

The bike trail where we do our long runs is beautiful and I have been bummed to miss out on the photo opportunities there since I don't carry a camera when we run. We went for a bike ride on Sunday afternoon and it was a great chance to get some pictures of all the lovely South Texas Spring wild flowers.

We did a 21 mile ride on Sunday after a 12 mile run on Saturday and it was great to stretch the legs and enjoy the sunshine. I'm already dreading the summer. It gets sooooo hot here. We have already had days in the 80's and summer will be here before I know it.

For now, we're enjoying the flowers and the great weather here in San Antonio. This is my first spring to see Bluebonnets. Last spring was so dry that the wild flowers just didn't grow so I am happy to see such a pretty spring this year.

The bluebonnets are so pretty! I've always wanted to make it down to TX in the spring to see them. We definitely don't get anything like that up here in Missouri. Just gorgeous.
