Saturday morning and an absolutely beautiful day had dawned. You know when, in winter, you get a day when the sun is shining, the temperature, while still on the chilly side, is just between when you are thinking of less layers and trying to remember where you put your lighter running gear - Well, today was one of those days.
I had a run planned with Keiran, and just after 9:30 we were in the Phoenix Park and raring to go. We decided that we wanted a 50 minute plus run and set off along the grassy trail on Chesterfield Avenue, the main drag, and we were not alone in our desire to enjoy the day - there were oodles of other runners out and about - It was like we were all the squirrels, fresh from our winter hibernation, scurrying around the parklands.
We turned off the main path and ran down where the deer were lying around soaking in the sun, and pushed on along the glen road, hardly noticing the climb, before heading back to Farmleigh, detouring to the Castleknock Gate before running back along Chesterfield Ave and the 2 mile or so back to our car.
A nice easy spring run, enjoying the weather, and happy to be able to run on such a glorious day - long may spring be like this.
