My Morning

As you have noticed, if you've been following this blog for any amount of time, there is a mountain in the middle of my city. And, as you can tell, the novelty of the mountain hasn't worn off yet for this prairie girl. 

After my encounter with the police last time I ventured onto the mountain side, I was eager to go back, but until this week I didn't take the time to do so. Finally, having a whole day off earlier this week, I walked to the mountain and realized just how close it is to my house, and I made a mental note to go back there soon.

So this morning, when I woke up as my roommate was getting up for work, I decided that I needed an adventure in my morning. Throwing on shorts and a T-shirt before my brain could convince me to stay in bed and miss the morning, I stuffed some food, homework, and sunscreen into my backpack and took off running. Less than half an hour later I was on the side of the mountain enjoying the beauty of the sunrise and the freshness of the morning. How glorious!
