Spring!

Today it feels as if spring has arrived at last. It is currently 58 degrees, the sun is shining, there are no clouds in the sky, the snow is melting... The daffodils and lilies that I planted by the front door are starting to emerge... Saw three osprey and one turkey vulture floating on the air currents on the way up to work... Yeah!

I got in a nice 4 mile run yesterday morning before work. Amazing how much snow had melted on the backside of Mt. Ararat between Monday and Wednesday. I'll head out for a mellow 3 mile run tomorrow to get the blood flowing in preparation for Saturday's race.

Of course, the forecast for Saturday is 39 degrees and rainy. It seems the weather gods don't want us to be able to enjoy a beautiful spring day for the Merrimack River Trail Race. Oh well... guess it's going to be wet, cold and muddy. That's what we get for signing up for a race in April!
