Marlay Park

Marlay Park

Last night I had probablly the best run of my life. My pace was great, my distance was great, and I got to explore some of Marlay Park, which is right at my doorstep.

The park is BREATHTAKING. It's the property of an old estate owned by the Marlay family for hundreds of years, and it has rolling hillsides, open fields, interlacing running trails, forest, and even a little waterfall you can go see. A few of the open areas had rugby matches going on, and there were a few many more fields where nothing was going on but the changing of the leaves on the trees.

It was sparkling and gorgeous, and left me feeling great. I was worried that this house is too far away from everything, but the park more than makes up for that. I can see myself spending a lot of time there, even in the winter.

So I've emailed a few of you the big news, but for those of you who don't yet know, the Target Bridal Line is out! LOL, I know, sounds cheap, and it is in fact inexpensive, but also its kind of charming, and I know your interest is picqued to see what Target can do for a wedding, so give it a look, see?

And that's it. That's as much as anyone can expect of a Tuesday. Yesterday's run through Marlay Park topped all, and I'm sorry, but you're just not gonna get much better than that. :)
