I thought Saturday would be my hard run for the weekend since my legs were a little tired on that run. I was sure Sunday would be just an easy run, and even felt really sleepy in the car on the way to the trail, but when I got out there I felt so good I made it a workout.
It's nice not having a goal race out there right now so I can just go easy or hard or long or short - whatever I feel like on a given day.
Sunday was a particularly nice day to be out running - this route was down Forbidden Drive from Chestnut Hill, then down to Lincoln Drive which is a hilly little mile and a half or so and out along the river to the Falls Bridge and back. The leaves are probably just past their peak and the trail and the path were pretty well covered. The last 3 miles were pretty flat out and a felt like a great effort.
Here's a picture from our family 5k. I made the costumes if you can't tell. The kids refused to wear theirs. And I have no idea where my daughter got that hat.

Cool picture and nice week post-first marathon!
I would prefer if you and your wife were in the strollers and the children had to push. Now that would be a 5k!
Anyhow, good to see your training is going well. Drop a line when you can...
I asked them if they wanted to push... Heck, I thought it was a good idea.
