Weekly Doings
After an entire week of rain, last week it cleared up and was beautiful. And then it was in the 80s and I sweated my booty off. This week's highs are supposed to be in the 70s which is perfect! Spring has sprung for real, I think! I had a great week doing lots of things outdoors!
I drove home, which takes about 4 hours, and listened to Ape House on the way, which totally makes the time go by fast (I have been doing it while running too. It's awesome).

Have you ever read a running related book? Have you ever had poison oak (or ivy)? Have you ever listened to a book on CD?
First, I did some of my favorite things:
Coupon clipping, reading and coffee drinking in the sun.
You can't get much better than that.
The book, Train Like a Mother*, was good. It's about running.
You can read my review here.
I went for a run on the trails near my house.
One bad thing about Spring?
Poison Oak.
Leaves of three; don't touch me!
Then I headed up to my parents house for the weekend.
There is still snow on the mountain tops!
I love it there! It's so beautiful!
I put my Dad to work, trail running with me.
I even made him leap small buildings logs in a single bound.
Then he put me to work raking, gardening and towing things.
Touche father, touche.
My parents made homemade cheese!
I had to taste it to make sure it wasn't poisonous.
I haven't died, but I still may need to do further testing to be sure.
The apple trees are just getting their flowers and the bees are getting busy!
It only took me 2,361,384 attempted photos to get this one useable one.
Yesterday, on my way back home, we went for a hike.
The two hats are my Mom and Aunt, sitting mighty close to the edge of that cliff.
No hike would be complete without an attempt at kite flying.
Notice I said attempt.
The wind was not cooperating.
(I heard a man behind me say, "If you have to run, it's not windy enough". Lazy or smart? You decide)
I drove home, which takes about 4 hours, and listened to Ape House on the way, which totally makes the time go by fast (I have been doing it while running too. It's awesome).
