Geo-Runner

This morning started like the last few have, cold and overcast.  The last few days it has really dumped buckets of rain over Victoria.  I went to school and continued to work on my projects that are due on Wednesday.  It was the official last day of classes so the beginning of the Summer Semester or break, depending on how you look at it.  On my way out from some seminars in the afternoon, I realized that the sun was out and it was warm.  Students had set up volley ball nets and were throwing f risbees .  There was music blaring and everyone was in shorts.  It was amazing the difference from the cold morning to the springy afternoon.  I absolutely loved it. Well I had to take advantage of the beautiful weather so I planned on running a 'shorty' 9 mile loop around the Mount Doug Gutbuster course + another quarter lap.  It had been a few days since I have ran due to my intense schedule.  I was amazed, it was as if the entire mountain sprang to life.  The wild flowers were bloomi...
