I am loving this latent spring chill. It's so good for a.m. running. I am also in a really good mood because there is now access (although still illegal) through the new tunnel so I don't have to bypass my trail by going half a mile thorugh the neighborhood. The chill in the air reminded me of a business conference I took about 10 years ago to Mt. Hood Oregon. Whenever there is a certain moist chill in the spring and summer it reminds me of that place. I'd only brung regular summer weather running gear with me and by the time I was done with 5 miles, my hands were frozen into claws and I couldn't pick the rasberries along the road. There was a river, like mine, only the whole way was blackberry and rasberry bushes and the sight of Mt. Hood in the distance. I love my rivertrail though. I never get tired of it. I feel like the river and the fields are just for me. |
