Spring Green!

I went for an almost three mile run this morning with my roommate Laura! I've never even run one mile...so this was an accomplishment! It's easier when you have a buddy to keep you motivated! The peer pressure kept me plodding along! We ran through some beautiful little neighborhoods, up around a small pond, and through an incredibly beautiful wooded path...the light was so amazing that I had to come back and take pictures!! I also drove around a bit and came upon a dirt road...it eventually opened up to this field that had a lovely view of the mountains to the south and my campus, which unfortunately sticks up like a sore thumb in the middle of the natural splendor... I'm enjoying taking time to explore now that I'm not up to my eyeballs in work! :P

Here are some faves from my little outing....

And just for effect, here is a similar photo in the same woods a month and a half earlier:
