The Rocky Mountain area puts forth a pot pourri of offerings this time of year. Snow storms and sunshine, iced sidewalks and blossoms, 80 degrees and 20 degrees, sunburns and parkas...sometimes all within a 24-hour period.And so goes life.
I'm not the same person I was a year ago, but I'm a better person for all that transpired over the last year. I have jiggly bits where I used to have muscles...but when I tackle a hill or carry a load, my body still knows how to respond. My runs tend much more toward 30 minutes rather than 30 miles, but when I fatigue I know I can go further...and I do. Frustrations build...but the patience gained from the rhythmic days of meandering through the heartland bubbles up and overcomes. So, no, I may not be the lean mean running machine of last spring and summer, but there is a spring blossom in there that can still poke her head through the snow and brighten the day.
