Fast 5k and Tons of Pictures

Today was a busy day for me.  I started the day off with an early hair appointment.  I wanted a new 'do' and came away with this:

Thanks to Rick at Totally Yours for a fantastic cut!!!

I don't see many of these on my usual route.

Next....I took off for a 5k run in the 'city'...hence the running gear being worn to the hairdressers!  Here are some of the scenes I took in:

All the power boxes in the city are painted different designs.
 



Everytime I drive by here, I wish
I was running...today I was!

I love the large trees that line the sidewalks

 

At this point I needed to cross a crosswalk, and the older gentleman that stopped to let me go, joking said, 'Gotta pick up the pace'!  I did as he said, and picked it up in the last couple of kilometers finishing strong and the fastest 5k this year!  And guess what?  No ITB pain!!!  I'm not getting too excited but will continue to run about 5k every other day for the next week to see how it feels!



 

 

Next I was off to friends, for their daughters 9th birthday party.  20 8-10 year olds with soccer balls, volley balls, and a bouncy castle!

 

I am proud to say that I did not indulge in one of these....no matter how yummy they looked!

 

Tonight will be a relaxing one, getting ready for my mini road trip.  Stay Tuned!!!!
