Springtime and Running

So on Sunday afternoon, I decided to go out for a run. Because this winter's been mostly chilly (but not nearly snowy enough, which is a different story), I always went to Walker for workouts until Sunday. If you recall, Sunday weather was warm, sunny, and just windy enough to be pleasant. I ran out to the farm and went past the fence marking the end of the far reaches of the field, seeing what I could find. After a slight uphill area, I began to descend and, as it turned out, descended into my childhood for a brief instant. It's a wonder how open fields, the wind rustling through the trees, and a gravel road can make a day! The only thing missing, to my slight regret, was the sound of the waves crashing at the Finnish Gulf, leading the wind on and on in its frenzy. This happy sort of nostalgia came and gradually disappeared.

On a different note, I discovered that Vassar actually has some sweet hiking trails in the reservation area! For those of you who are runners or just enjoy a jog every now and then, I highly recommend exploring there.
