I have not done any running since my last entry. I am thankfully on the mend, I was able to get out of bed today and interact with the kids and even managed the short walk to the shop in the beautiful morning sunshine to get a newspaper.
The last few days weather have been pretty good. Even though Friday started off with snow and then rain, later it cleared up, and Saturday was a glorious day. As I looked out at the practically still wind conditions, lovely Spring temperatures, I thought about how perfect the conditions were had I been alble to undertake my planned 20 mile run.
This morning also, a chilly, but beautiful morning. And I was reminded of the year of my final summer exams at school, which was quite a time ago! The weather up to the week before the exams had been pretty poor, rain and wind, standard type Irish stuff. The week before the exams however, when we were all in cramming, it got really nice. And on the week of the exams, it was beautiful. There we were, sitting in exam halls, looking out at the glorious weather, looking forward to the day of the final exam, when the summer holidays could begin in earnest.
On the last day of my exams the weather was great, and the feeling of freedom matched it.
The next day, it rained, and continued to rain for pretty much the next two months.
Ce la vie !
