I got up around 4 this morning, just like usual. I wearily dragged myself to the dresser to grab my running gear and get ready to get on my way. Just 2 quick miles this morning, just to get my heartrate going. I would do the other 8 miles later in the day. I don't really like to run in the morning, I never have, but it's a ritual that I am getting more and more used to. Plus on the rare occasion, I love to get to take Jasmine the Chocolate Wonder Lab with me.
So this morning, when I stepped onto the sidewalk here in beautiful Ft. Collins, I looked around and the streets were wet, and it smelled like fresh rain. As I passed my pickup truck, there was water beaded on the pait and windows. I have no clue how much it rained, but it did. It smelled great and felt like everything had been washed clean.
Honstly, I do not like the rain. Almost everything I do for recreation involves being outside and rain doesn't really enhance anything like that. The signifigance of last nights rain is that it was supposed to be snow in the forcast. Finally the nights are staying above freezing. We get great days here all year round, but when the sun goes away in the winter and even in the spring, the weather gets cold. The first overnight rain for us means Spring has really sprung. And I couldn't be happier.
Enjoy your day. I am
