I went running today and listened to the number one song that gets me high. Winters leave me feeling like I'm drowning. That feeling of anger and hopelessness was particularly exacerbated this past week and weekend. After an amazing workout, a little sun, and a little thinking, I finally feel better.
I saw the woman I want to be in 5 years as I floated back down the trails of melting snow at Rock Canyon. She was a blond hiker in shining pigtails--athletic and cute dressed in black flared hiking pants and with a hat pulled over her braids. In front of her were two of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen. She let me pet them and further feed my hunger for a dog. One was a full grown Alaskan husky. But her puppy--oh her puppy!--was bred part wolf part Siberian husky. That would be my dream. To partially own a wolf. However, that dream does not fit well with my other dream to never live in a climate cold enough that a dog like that would be happy. A retriever will have to do.
Today I will sign up to run through fields of tulips with my husband for (hopefully) 20 minutes less than two hours on April 24. I sure hope it's sunny that day. It will be our first race as official graduates of Brigham Young University. A very long victory lap. Looking forward to it.

What is your number one "pick me up song"? I could use it about now.
took two chemistry exams today.
Look forward to watching your run in tulips.
It has been so cloudy here this winter and it is killing me!
I'm glad that you've had some sunshine. I must say that I'm surprised that your 5-year-from-now-self isn't pushing a stroller while she runs. :) I hope that everything is going well with your fantastic new JOB.
I'm glad that Jeremy is enjoying school and his major (at least as of the last post that he wrote). :) Have a happy March.
