DAN......are you talking behind my back??? LOL!

i WAS away.  not quite vacation....but im home now.

WHAT a fabulous weekend.

the weather was INCREDIBLE.

the scenery PRISTINE.

we have a camp up in the Allegheny National Forest, close to Kinzua in Hearts Content PA.

it has to be one my favorite places to be!!

we went up w my brother and sister in law, my nephew, neice and great neice, my sister in laws cousin and his four year old son, and my husband and three boys.

quite the CAMP FULL....AND boat full for that matter

we spent the boating and then fire-side sittin', hiking, and general family frivolity. 

while the kids were jumping off these huge rocks into the lake, i manged to sneak in a small OWS, 15 mins.....still getting used to swimming w/out lines.

and then i ventured out early before everyone was awake, and ran  this AMAZING trail (cross country ski course) back in the woods right near our campsite.  4 mile trail run WOOT!

everytime i come back from camp it just feels all is well with the world.

dontcha love that feeling?

its back at it tomorow.  the kids will have a 4-day week.  im hoping to get in a 8 miler tomorrow.

rain and cool in the forecast.  PERFECT long run weather.

HAPPY TO BE HOME!  and feels good to be missed.

I got a run done yesterday and a swim today.  I have a little fever and my baby has the sniffles.  We are laying low for the rest of the day.

kns57 - 2009-09-07 5:02 PM Hello team, it has been a great weekend here in GA.

Visit from a school chum and her son and hubby.  Went to the Aquarium, Stone Mountain and Braves game.  Very busy weekend.  Did get in some of my walking and a run. 

Picked my bicycle up from the shop so I need to get out on it for a spin and make sure I'm happy with what they did. 

Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day. 

deehtz - 2009-09-07 10:42 PM Wow, maybe I should always be on holiday!  I went out for my "run" session about 4 hours after BBQ burger AND I took the dog.  Talk about a distraction!  However it was my fastest session yet (still slow LOL) and my longest actual running time.

I could get to like this running thing 

blujay65 - 2009-09-08 5:58 AM Good morning Okra! Today is my long day at work so probably no workout for me. But I want to cheer on all my other teamies!

Have a great day everyone!

kns57 - 2009-09-08 9:12 AM Good morning team.  Got in a 4 mile walk this morning and will be getting on the bicycle this afternoon.  Meanwhile work is getting in the way.  See ya!

Stacie, glad you had a great weekend! Good for you getting your run in...I had great intentions! But too much to drink and staying up way too late made for not so good mornings!

Is it just south of Allegany State Park in NY (or that general direction)?

I drove through there before and it is gorgeous!
