Mother Nature must have known a 17-miler was in my plans for the weekend because the weather was beyond gorgeous. After waking up to this on Wednesday...

If we are going to get 7 inches of snow in March, at least I got a 2 hour delay! |
...we had a sun-filled 60-something degree Sunday afternoon. After so much time spent in tights, gloves, and balaclavas lately, this run felt so free. Just a running skirt, a tank, and a hat to keep the sun out. Oh, and salt creases in my elbows- now that's a sign of a good run!

Clearly I also got sunburn and a few million extra freckles. Who would have thought I'd need full on sunscreen in March... in Pittsburgh! Lesson learned. |
I also thought post-long run couldn't be better timing for my annual Shamrock Shake. We eat at McDonald's
never ever, I stop there for coffee
occasionally, and we go there
exactly once a year for a Shamrock Shake. Really I could drink them everyday from February to March... which is why I keep it to just one! It was heavenly.

It's hard to stay away when they are EVERYwhere! Plus they are mint flavored and that's a vice of mine.
