The Three H's

Hazy. Hot. Humid. We're approaching (and on some days we're there) summer weather, complete with late afternoon thunderstorm. It takes even more motivation than usual to get me running. Last week, it was the thought of Pitango Gelato after the run. Today it was the chocolate milk that was waiting for me when I got home. But I also enjoying running to see new parts of town or explore a town when I travel. That's what I did Sunday morning in Fredericksburg, VA. SA and AA got married Saturday night and LC, AM and I stayed the night. It was a beautiful ceremony and everything was in walking distance of one another: the hotel, the church, the reception, and the bar for the after party. We got to see a lot of historic Fredericksburg. It was cute and quaint. I got up early on Sunday morning, donned my running gear, and hit the pavement. I asked the front desk for a good running route, which they provided happily. It's one thing I've noticed about hotels is they usually have a running route map all ready for you. The route I ran was down through the historic downtown and onto the canal trail. There was water on one side of the pat and on the other parkland. I got to cross a couple of bridges across the canal. It was shady and a good pick-me up. I was tired from the late night.
