Hubig Pie Run

Yesterday I ran what is fast becoming my favorite lunchtime CBD/French Quarter route.   Well I guess its now CBD/FQ/Faubourg Marigny route as I cross into the Marigny after hitting Esplanade at the back of the quarter.

While I have run this route a couple of times and have noted the Hubig Pie factory on Dauphine street, I never experienced the sweet aroma of pies baking while running.  I swear I gained a couple of pounds just taking in the smell of sweetness while I ran down Royal, a block off but the wind blowing the smell my way.  On the way back, I passed right in front of the factory but the smell had faded. 

Mission accomplished.  I got in a good 7+ mile weekday run and put my Sunday non motivated 10 mile run behind me.
