Saturday, 10/02/10 Green Mountain

Sierra and I got out for an amazing run up Green via Gregory/Ranger today.  The weather finally seems to be cooling off and it felt so refreshing, pleasantly warm in the sun and pleasantly cool in the shade.  I went what felt like a super easy pace waiting for Sierra as she sniffed and took her time, but my mood and overall state of body and mind were in such a place, that had I been alone, I would have been floating up the trail.  The state of happiness, peace and contentment on today's run was above anything I have ever felt, I could just not stop smiling and wanted to tell everyone I passed about my recent good fortune.  I have heard so many times before, that kids change your life for the better like you can't imagine, so I had high hopes and expectations that turned out to be far beyond what I dreamed.  I bumped into Aaron ?, who I met a many months ago on Green, but we recognized each other right away.  We stopped for a nice conversation near the top of Green and talked kids and trail gear for a while.  Nice to bump into you Aaron.

Up Gregory/Ranger:  39:08

  1. Nice chatting with you too Jeff. I can totally relate to how you felt out there today, thinking back on the births of my 3 kids. It truly is an amazing experience to have children, which is impossible to fully understand without having had the experience. Congrats again on the new additions! You've got many amazing moments ahead of you with them in your life. Cool to hear how great it made you feel today.

    (oh, and I was basically working myself over to hit the summit in 46:19, so its fun to be humbled again by your super easy effort at 39)

  2. JV - yeah, it is a change to the plumbing, ain't it? And man, you are back on Green already? That is quite a recovery!
