Month of Spring

Today could have been a roll over, but 4.:45 the alarm to some loud rock song, smack it was off. Emma the pug was ready for her morning ritual, my hocks were pretty tight from sitting and watching sports all day Sunday. Robin ask's " are you going to make coffee " ah yea .

I am awake enough that trying to sleep again is worthless, so with coffee brewing , Emma relieved, and Robin getting herself ready to swim , March is off and running.

Another perfect morning, dark , the open road free of cars and snow, the run was planned for the same boring loop, but at the 3 mile area, my mind changed. Looking left the trail heading up to Northview was clear and my parts were feeling free- er? more free? loose, warmed up ,so up the hill I go.

At the top on church property, the view is great. March is spring month and daybreak can be seen from there, and it is a wonderful site.

Spring is closer, you can begin to hear the birds chirping, they know something. You see a flock of ducks in formation heading north, they know it, and the Cherry Blossom in the backyard, it knows.

The run today turned into what yesterday should have been. Smooth , a little longer and when you start in the 5am part of the day a 2 hour run can happen anytime. A little over 1 hour today but spring is 22 days away, we can again see our yards, maybe wash the car this week and give thanks for everyday we can do the activity we love.
