Here Comes the Sun...

An amazing thing happened yesterday...the sun started peeking through the clouds as I went on my after-work run.  I was so excited that I just kept running and ended up doing 10 miles in what satisfies for sun here (a fuzzy yellow orb behind the clouds).  The best part of my run was looking at my running watch when I finished and realizing that it takes altitude into account so my workouts are now 33% more efficient!  I may be racing in a local 5K this weekend because why not?!

Today, the sunshine (or lack of rain) continued and it was beautiful!  My co-clerks and I immediately decided that leaving work early to go for a hike was a must.  I convinced them to do the Perseverance trail, which is the major trail that picks up behind my house.  Here are a few pictures from our amazing hike...yeah, this is what my backyard looks like!

If you're wondering where my lips went...well, it was a little chilly by the time we got to the top and all this rain has drained my tan pretty quickly (I think it lasted about 10 minutes here).  

I also picked up Lester from the shop so I officially have some wheels.  Don't be jealous of my sweet ride!
