Old Stompin' Grounds

I've been home (Lexington, KY) for the holidays for the last week and after spending a great deal of time around various dinner tables, I finally managed to get outside for a run. The weather today was unseasonably warm (mid 50s) and just a gorgeous day to run at my favorite location in Lexington. It's a narrow, hilly back-road that winds through some gorgeous horsefarms. I happen to be one of those people that enjoys running hills. I figure the more you can run hills, the easier race day is since most races look for "flat/fast" courses. The name of the road is Parker's Mill and if you ever find yourself in Lexington, I suggest you check it out. It is a narrow road so you do need to be alert.

So, with my iPod full of new music that I raided from my brother, I set out on a nice, relaxed run. It felt good to be running and even better to be running in my old Kentucky home.

I've got a 6:30AM flight back to San Diego tomorrow. It will be nice to get back home as my family has hit the wall after bouncing around from family and friend's homes. That's not so bad when it's just adults but try doing that with a 2 yr old. As anyone with young kids knows, the schedule is the KEY and any deviation from the schedule can have grave consequences.
