Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: Things you saw on your last run. Remember to link-up with Kim and Zenaida and the bottom of this post.
My last outdoor run was during the Orangetheory Fitness DriTri. In 2019 and 2020 the DriTri was at a large local park. In 2021 and last month, the DriTri was held at a place called The Village, which is an area of Stamford near the waterfront. It’s a beautiful place to run and it’s always pretty empty when we do the DriTri since it’s early on a Saturday morning. Here are a few photos from what I saw during that run:
As I mentioned, this property is near the waterfront so the views are incredible. We run along this entire path for the 5K.
The Village has a few restaurants as well. This is one of their restaurants with tons of outdoor seating. I plan on coming back here over the summer to enjoy the view, food and a few drinks!
This was taken right by the finish line, about 5 minutes after I finished.

Topic for next week – What fun hobbies or activities do you do besides running?
That looks amazing! Having beautiful views always helps with a run! And you and your mum looking as lovely as always!
Beautiful outdoor views make the run 10x better!
Looks like a beautiful place for a run! I can only imagine how peaceful it would be, especially in the early hours, with limited people milling around 🙂
Oh it was so peaceful! And that area of town can get crowded rather quickly so it was nice to be there before all the people came to eat and explore.
I would definitely go back to The Village to enjoy a few drinks! Looks like a great place.
It must be so nice to be able to do workouts with your mum. She is is so fit!
Thanks! It’s nice to get in workouts with her and I love that she’s still so active.
There is nothing better than running by water!
You definitely have to go back & enjoy that view with your meal.
I agree! Running by the water is always so peaceful.
What a nice route to run on.
I hope you get to go back.
Any racing plans?
No racing plans for this year – if I do one it would be a local 5K race. Hope to get back to racing next year.
Running by the water is always great- this looks beautiful. And that’s you and your mom? How fun!!! You both look great!
Thanks! Yup, thats me and my mom after the event.
Ooh that looks like a fun place! I like the idea that you get to do your DriTri outdoors. The change of scenery makes it something to look forward to!
Doing the DriTri outdoors is such a game changer! I did it indoors one year and the 5k on the treadmill was horrible.
That looks like a lovely place to run, and yes, I’d be heading back to that restaurant for drinks and a bite to eat. What a pretty place to sit outside!
I’m looking forward to going back down there this summer for food and drinks!
that does look like a nice place for a run and to hang out.I love to see you and your mom doing these races together!
Thanks! She normally complains right before doing the event but then ends up feeling so great once it’s over, lol.
Beautiful place for running! I would also go back there to eat and drink. 🙂 Do you have any racing plans for this year?
I don’t have any race plans for this year. IF I do a race this year, it would most likely be a small local 5k.
Such great scenery fora run! Looks like a fun time!
It was a great 3 mile course!
