When I’m out on the trails, I love it. Simple as that. I have never had a bad day out running (even with a lot Of power hiking). But even on a still-unusual-but-increasing-in-frequency hot winter day like this, a little part of me yearns for the end. For the water, the rest, the air conditioning. The food!

And then, even as soon as just driving away, I wish I was still out there. Screw short mileage days, studying, dinner, work, dark or whatever makes it necessary for me to leave. As soon as I’m out I’d give anything to be back in.
