Crossing over

Today was the big day - not only 'crossing over' to the other half (where the long runs are longer than running half the race) but also crossing over to Magnolia to do a little exploring. I didn't bring my camera since it was a 6.5 miler, but I should have - the views on the other side of the locks were really pretty. Not only that but it was a beautiful sunny day...tank top, shorts (I didn't even know that I owned shorts!) The only tough part was weaving through all the tourists at the locks. I was going to use that as an excuse for my time, but it was my best pace ever - under 9 minute miles (according to my pedometer).
