I slept with the window partially open so I could hear the rain falling during the night.  I got out to run around 8 after everyone was gone to school, which was perfect. The sky was clearning in places and peeking bright spots of blue.  There were feathery clouds sticking like white cotton candy to the snows of Mt. Timpanogos.  The tree branches were wet and dark so all the new green buds seemed even more vibrant and tender.  It was a lush morning that reminded me of my childhood springtimes in San Diego; Mositure in the air and the smell of wet dirt.  This lovely scenario, was enjoyed more thouroughly because I left my Garmin hanging decidely in it's place at home.  I ran with my eyes closed part of time so I could listen to the river made newly fat by the rain and snow.  I love running just for the fun of it.  I haven't felt that in months.
