all the leaves will burn.
last night i headed to the military ridge trail after we got back from eau claire feeling uninspired, sore and kind of sick. i eased into the run thinking i was running slow, and i ran the first half of 10 miles in 7:05's. so, i decided that i would push a little on the return trip and ran a 26 minute 4 mile segment and i wasn't really out of breath. it's amazing how a 70 minute run can turn your day around, and last night it helped. afterward i stretched and then just sat for a minute or two taking in the sunset.
on my way home, i was listening to wilco and the song 'sunken treasure' came on. the opening lyrics of the opening verse reminded me of the winter slog we are finishing up, where any run after work is in the dark and it's cold.
"rows and rows of houses, with windows painted blue. the light, from the tv, running parrallel to you....i am so out of tune, with you."
and during those runs, i often looked for signs of the 'light at the end of the tunnel.' well, there is no need to search for that anymore because springtime is here. there still could be snow, there still could be cold. but that grass is staying green until november and the trees will have leaves in no time. and that is great news.
the wedding in eau claire was a blast from the past. lance and grant were there and it was great to catch up with them. it has been years since i've last spoken to that group, it's good to know that the more things change the more they stay the same.
happy monday.
