Plans

i am ready. ready for summer. i realize that i may be rushing things a little, but there's nothing like anticipation right? besides, it's already march, which has got to be one of the best months known to man. and i'm already planning some fun summer goals. last week i went snow shoeing twice, which was super fun, but now i am waiting for the melting to hurry up so i can get to my favorite activities. like hiking, running, climbing in and out of the canyon, biking, and finally, yellow stone exploration.

as for hiking: must hike pocatello with monica, and something in boise... maybe mt. borah, you ready monty? and of course the endless possibilites north of here. day hikes, yes, but there is also some exciting scheeming going on about a 60 mile hike from galena to stanley, where we can resupply, and back. and apparently mike wants to hike every peak in between.

and then maybe a half marathon in june, which i would be more likely to do if i had a running buddy, even if that running buddy only ran with me on race day... hint, hint.... katie. i think you should do it. and then, maybe, maybe, maybe in october if all goes well, maybe i will run a full marathon with gen and bobby. finally. or else... one day i will run one.

i am thinking i might bike to buhl one day, i've always sort of wanted to. i don't know why buhl exactly, but smith dairy does have very good ice cream, so that might make it worthwhile.

so that's what i'm thinking for now. if you want to come visit, bring some hiking boots. i'm going to the canyon first, it's not as snowy right now.

that's the spirit. june 10th, a sunday of course. if you agree to do it, i'll do it. otherwise i have no idea if i will or not. i'm not quite sure how i am going to get up to p.a. from seattle, but i'll figure that out later. actually this could be one big excuse to see you because if i don't run, i probably won't even be in seattle anyway. you see how much power you hold over me? anyway, no pressure. but you know you want to do it.

ahh maaaaaan. I hate to be a bubble buster, but I don't get in til 10:20 THAT night. It's not a midnight marathon is it? You should come to seattle anyway...
