I wouldn't quite go so far as to say it's sprung here in the Old Dominion, but it appears as though we're ready to make our typical leap from the dead of winter to withering heat.  A little later than usual, but it's coming.  And with it, so is my motivation.  I'm a sucker for summertime weather; sun, blue sky, that weird feeling when I walk out the door without a jacket and realize that I don't need one.  I love it all, and it makes me want to go outside, imagine that.  

So in the spirit of the spring, I have finally succumbed to my body and made a doctor's appointment to go and have him tell me that my IT band is all messed up, and send me toddling off to PT.  Which I do NOT look forward to, but they usually have pretty cool toys, and it'll enable me to run again.  So I'm looking forward to it, so hopefully not too long until I see you out on the trails!
