Today I decided to give in to the snow and stay home from work. I called in reinforcements that work closer to the lab to help me out, I just wasn't interested in driving to Portland and finding a place to park. I hate that people are way freaking out over a snowstorm in March... anyone remember that one time we had a snow day in May? It's still winter for another couple weeks people. Plus, snow is great for photo-ing:
From last weekend's storm... the snow was heavy and sticky and coated everything from top to bottom... unfortunately we lost a couple trees in our yard but the powerlines looked real cool.
The little mound of snow on the left is actually our grill... what's awesome is that we've lost a lot of snow in the few warm days we've had, so it probably wouldve been completely buried had it stayed cold :)I'm off to Ireland two weeks from yesterday, so as long as the snow stays away that night I leave, I'm fine with it sticking around for a while longer.
In other news, I'm taking my triathlon training more seriously (meaning I'm actualyl going to train instead of winging it), and I joined a running group at Peak Performance in Portland. yesterday was my first run with them, and I made a running friend with whom I ran five whole miles, with zero stops, in fifty minutes. Way more awesome that I could've hoped. I still hated it, but I did it. This afternoon I'm planning out all my training sraight through the Lobsterman Tri in Sept. Wooooooohoo!
I feel a snow angel coming on...
