whoooo goes there?

... why, spring time, it's you!!

So happy to see ya... and that beautiful extra hour of daylight you have in tow.

Your fever? I've caught it + its propelled me to move forward... one cautionary step at a time.

I've committed to doing some {soul} cleaning... beginning with dusting my boots off... and realigning my dreams + reality.

Spring, you've sprung me straight in to training mode... every mile accompanied by immense mental clarity... and a hopeless romantic fighting hard not to look back...

You've provided time for me to take breaks + smell the freshly bloomed flowers + breathe in the cool breeze that accompanies your warm sunny days... as winter makes its final escape + I can pack away my sweaters... and iron all my white.

I have been enjoying southern comfort this week visiting Kara in Knoxville. I've had sweet tea everyday! Yesterday, we went hiking 2 miles straight up along the Tennessee/North Carolina border on a trail called Chimney Tops. It was incredibly strenuous but an awesome work-out with amazing views at the top of the Smokey Mountains!!
