I know.. doesn't sound right?
But this past week, we've had warmer (anything above 0 is warmer) temps here and that extra sunlight helps.. big time. So the other day, as we tread through nearly 2 feet of snow just to get up on our favorite hill, Kai and I just sat there (exhausted) and basked in the sun. He watched the birds dance around the trees and it was so quiet that you could hear every chirp and rustle of the slight breeze.
As I sat there, I notice a cop car parked right below us on the street.. he kept looking over at us. Then I'm thinking.. "come on, base cop, is it against the law to sit on top of the hill?" So watching him stare at us, it compelled me to get down from the hill I worked so hard to get on to see what the problem was. I finally get down, peek in his car, and he said.. "nice day isn't it?" My response in my head "You think? No, I would sit out here even if it was -20 outside.. moron!" But like the nice person I am, I agreed.. Then he went on to say.."I just couldn't help but notice you and your dog up there, how deep is that snow? Your dog jumps around there just fine.."
Really?
He was staring at us for the past 20 minutes thinking.. "oh how cool is that, a dog trying to hop through the snow!"
Well there goes my sunbathing that day.. :)
But, it has been really nice here and it looks like it will be for the rest of the week. I will make it a point to enjoy it. Today I ended up going on 2 runs (sigh, it's been a while and although my heart was in it, my body said.. "are you kidding me?) As much as I wanted to do a good 5 miles (at once) I couldn't. I ran 2.6 miles twice, the second time waiting for my hubby to join me. I have to say.. he whoop my butt, big time!
Tomorrow I got a lunch date. It's been a while since I've actually left my house/base :)
