Looking back upon my four part trail running story, I am amazed that I found so much to say. Now, full disclosure, I found been accused of being a talker and storyteller, so I guess this revelation shouldn't come as a great surprise. But, I have never tried my hand at writing consistently about my own experiences. Maybe this blogging thing will turn out just fine . . .
Changing the subject slightly here, this weather continues to baffle me. Yesterday the temperature were in the low 80 F with a humidity to match the near summer like temps and a stiff breeze out of the north. Typically, a wind out of the north in March should usher in colder temps, but not this year. My body was not prepared for the warmth and humidity yesterday, which made my long run a challenge (I am sure the late night watching college basketball didn't contribute to the heavy legs). However, I do love running in shorts and a t shirt!
As I covered the miles yesterday, I continued to marvel at the mild winter and early spring. Plants turning green and trees budding make for a pretty sight and a pretty unusual sight this early in March. The 10 day forecast call for more warmth and a little rain, looks like just enough to encourage the growth. Very soon I expect to see the flowers blooming and spring to arrive in full force. I can't wait as the renewal of spring is one of my favorite times to of the year!
