spring.

i ran 5 miles yesterday. and it was effortless. amazing. sunny. spring-like. i shaved three minutes off of my previous 5-mile time. i felt like i was floating.

i ran 3.75 today. in shorts. and a t-shirt. my face may have even gotten a bit burned and a lot more freckled.

and that's okay.

oh, and for the record, tomorrow marks one year. one year since i lost my job and became able to run at whatever time during the day i wanted to.

one. year.

and that's okay, too.

because good things have been happening. like saturday. when i got to hug someone that i hadn't seen, heard from or talked to for three years.

so as winter fades into spring and tulips push through soil that was, just days ago, covered in snow - new things are blooming in my life, too. good things.
