It was a busy weekend of running. I did 2 group runs.
It started early Saturday morning, when I ran the iced over trails of Clayton Park, with the Hamilton Area Trail Runners. We only did 5 miles, but they were a handful.
On Sunday, Shoreturtle & I headed down to Long Branch, to meet up with Progman2000 & Joyrun , to run part of the NJ Marathon course. Prog had 14 miles to run, and nothing beats running at the shore. The 1st Sunday of every month, the Jersey Shore Road Runners Club meet and do a training run, in preparation for the NJ Marathon in May.
It was a nice balmy day, compared to yesterday's icy trail run. It felt like it was in the 30's, with a slight ocean breeze.
The JSRRC had set up a few water stops along the course, and we ran into LarrytheLighthouse at one of the stops.
Larry had on what appeared to be a pair of gold 70's era disco shorts on.It was a pretty scenic course, and always fun to run at the shore. 
I can tell you that this course was similar to Philly's marathon course, as it was very flat. We ran a few slight hills, but nothing that bad.
It was nice to meet fellow blogger Joy, who hung in there with us, and looks to be well on her way to have a great NJ Marathon experience. It was good company and nice to settle in to a relaxed pace, and log some miles, after the past few weeks of helter skelter trail running.
My apologies to Joy, for not getting her in this picture. Progman looks to have his head in the clouds.
This was my longest run since the marathon in Nov, and I felt tired but good after it was done.

People wearing shorts! Now that's nice! And no snow on the ground, even nicer!
Good job on the half-marathon training run!
Looks like it was a really nice run down at the shore. Makes me want to meet up with you guys! It must feel nice getting a decent long run in after so long. I can't wait until I get back there, hopefully in a month or so.
Great job!!
Looks like fun to run in a group and on trails!!!
YAY!!!
I am pretty committed to getting a running camera now. And I will make sure it's smaller and got more megapixels than your's and the turtles. Just because.
Thanks for coming out.
It's all good! I think that's my @$$ in the first pic :)
Dude!! Looks like a fantastic time! Whoot!
I saw you a lot this weekend! We had two good runs. The ice run was absurd. It was cool to run on the marathon course.
Those pictures are great! thanks for sharing. It looks so fun to get out with other runners and run, and I love the gold shorts. :)
Look like a lot of fun. It's great to have a good running group. It makes time pass by. You didn't beat up Joy too bad did you? haha
I really need to get some more running buddies around here.s
Shorts in that sort of weather.. crazy. Nice 13 miler
Thanks for sharing pics, great job on the 13 miler!
Double duty weekend? I can't even imagine. I think I'd die.
