Ash came with me in the afternoon. We ran down 400 W and found a very tasty apple tree. Then we climbed to Freedom Hills. She sat on her bike and resisted the urge to use brakes while I pushed her up the hill. Once there, she played at the park while I ran some laps. I did two trips up and down the switchback trails, 1 mile round trip. Those got me pretty gassed, and we still had a 5k to get home. At this point I began to reconsider my oatmeal cookies after church fueling strategy. Nevertheless, we made it home; to wit, I'm on the computer typing this report. The day was gorgeous. All the snow melted, leaving the earth thoroughly scrubbed and shining. There are leaves everywhere. My company was fantastic. It is so good to get some sunshine. Despite spending all of Friday and Saturday outside, this was the only time the sun poked through. |
