Notes
trails are officially open (well to me they are) and given the recent "lack" or "yawn" or whatever you want to call it, i need to follow last years plan here. happiness is worth more than mental anguish and i'm not helping myself by resenting what i am doing. in order for me to not puke over the thought of doing something i don't want to do, i guess doing it a whole lot less is my only option. then maybe "that" will seem at best...tolerable while getting what i need, which i'm not even sure i do.
as for the run...it was awesome. there was lots of mud...ice...and water and my brain had to constantly scan what was coming next and my body had to constantly make adjustments. i made i game of it to keep forward momentum up and it was just amazing really how good i felt the entire time. i saw 2 butterflies, a baby turtle and 2 huge deer jump the trail right in front of me. the whole woods just echoed with spring peepers and male frogs calling the ladies. sure beats the cat calls and tack revs i have been hearing and i'm already looking forward to getting back out there.
