Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!
We had a lovely long weekend, filled with plenty of great weather, family time, good food, relaxation and (of course) running! The only thing missing was a good glass of wine; I'd kill for some pinot grigio right now! 6 more days...
Saturday I met my group for our final "long" run of ten miles. It was a beautiful morning to be out for a run and "race pace" felt easy. Coach snapped this pic of me with my partner for next weekend along the way. It's blurry, but you can still see the big smiles!
On Sunday morning I went for a leisurely 5K run hubs at our usual spot. I took the opportunity to snap some pics of our stomping grounds ... we have run countless miles on these paved trails and it just feels like home.
Where We Run:
6 sleeps! Time to start continue sleeping as much as possible, hydrating like crazy, eating right (even though all I want is junk - argh!), washing/sanitizing my hands constantly and OD'ing on Vitamin C!
Coming soon: training recap and race goals!

Your running trail is beautiful, makes such a difference when you run in a place where the beauty can distract you from the pain! GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK!

The trail is beautiful. So exciting about the race coming up!
If you spot a girl wearing an aqua top and white cap, it may be me. That's all I know about my outfit so far, depends on weather.
Good luck!

I can hardly wait for race goals and please include pre-race diet plans and fueling for race! I'm doing personal research :) !

Great trail to train on - beautiful!
Happy turkey day! Only 6 more sleeps!
I hate the craving for junk when I'm in the taper phase. I think it's our body's way of making sure we fill up on fat to get us through those last miles. grrr.
Sleep lots and stay healthy.
Oh my word! Where you run is beautiful!! What a blessing! Sleep well, hydrate well and stay healthy!
Beautiful run! Happy Thanksgiving! Sleep and drink up :)
Happy Thanksgiving! The trees are such perfect colors this fall! It makes for great scenery while running!

Beautiful pictures! I love running this time of year. And I love your title!! 6 sleeps! :)
Great pics, I love where you guys run. We used to have a place like that, where we ran so much that it felt like home like you said. I miss that now that we've moved.
Great pics. I'm having trouble finding a place that is longer than 6 miles right now. I need something like you have there.
The area where you run is beautiful and you can see that fall is in the air; I love this time of year. The marathon is just around the corner and you're going to rock it!
Happy Thanksgiving to you! Beautiful place to run! Enjoy this time.. you're almost there!
Wow such a beautiful place to run! LUCKY!! Looks like you guys had some great weather this weekend too!
I can't believe you actually gave up wine...you're amazing!
What a perfect Thanksgiving weekend! Wishing you a quiet, healthy, restful pre-race week!
Mizz Marlene... will you be going to the Canadian side of the Detroit Marathon? Is that far from you?? It's in Windsor, Ontario! You're near Ontario, right? If you go lemme know where to look for you!!!!
I love your photos!
What? You mean there is food besides junk? Who knew!
GORGEOUS. you are so ready and so going to kill it. I can't wait to read all about it.
