-Trail running today was magnificent! 5 1/2 miles with Lucy. It was cold & perfect! Flowers were blooming. Water was overflowing. I saw a HUGE fish trying to get "back" through the quickly moving water of the overflow pipe. I saw a fuzzy (!!!) baby goose with its protective parents. New flowers I had never seen at Oak Openings & beautiful, small reflective dewdrops. -Gorgeous run with lots of stops for pictures. Terrible for my time but wonderful for my soul. -It's been rough, here, lately. I look for support... I'm taught to be independent. Trail running adds to the independence. Strength & untamed beauty is what I see & why I love trail running. A bare, imperfect, natural scene... It's where I find a restful soul...
