On Sunday morning I met up with my clinic group out in the country at our instructor's house for 16K/10mi (step-back week). He wasn't kidding when he said it would be a "scenic" route.
We faced some steep climbs and it was definitely challenging. We did get to enjoy some gorgeous views along the way and it was well worth it. I love running in the country; I don't think we saw one single car!
When we made it back to the house, we enjoyed a delicious brunch on the deck, including a great variety of food from crepes to smoked salmon to couscous salad to fresh fruit. What can I say, we're spoiled!

YES! this is my absolute favorite thing about weekend running. getting OUT there, going, and coming back to delicious brunches!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a great run. love that there were no cars. how refreshing!
That sounds great! Well, except for the part about hills.
Yum! What a great treat after a long, hilly run.
I would have run for that type of feast!
Ohh, can I come over for brunch?
Yep, I would've run a 12K for that brunch too!
Have you noticed that runners have special terms for things that have far different meanings from normal vocabulary?
"Scenic"- You will SEE a lot of hills
"FUN!"- There will be a lot of hill
"Gentle" or "rolling"- There will be a lot of LONG hills!
"Only a few more miles"- There will be a lot of miles... likely on a LOT of hills!
A run and brunch. That is the recipe for a great day.
Wow that course is a lot of up and down. I like to state the obvious. Good job!
Sounds like you had a great weekend of running, eating, and enjoying!
Sounds just perfect (maybe except for the hills)!
Looks nice and hilly. To me that's what scenic means: lots and lots of hills. Great job!
run+brunch = fun.
good luck next weekend!
Man, I'm lucky if I get a cup of gatorade after a run. I'll have to have a chat with my boys LOL.
Sounds like a nice weekend.

Sounds like a great weekend! Hills are never fun but they'll help you get faster and better in a hurry!
The brunch sounds yummy!!!!! I am hungry now!
i would have missed all the scenery! whenever i'm hauling it up big hills i tend to look at my feet/the ground and wonder if it will ever end :)
nice job on such a hilly run! post-run brunch sounds amazing!!
Can I join your group? I can think of nothing better than wonderful company, a great scenic run and sumptuous food afterward!
