Smells like summer.

This week has been amazing. Sunny, warm, and beautiful. I haven't felt this good in weeks! There's just something about the smell of warm grass and bark that gives me such a good energy...I just can't explain it.

Kyle came over after work last night, and after barraging him with all sorts of thoughts going through my head, he finally said, "Is this how it's going to be all summer?"

Me: "What do you mean?"

K: "I mean you, being all giddy."

I guess I get a little excited about being outside on gorgeous days like yesterday and today...

I took the kayaks out for the first time yesterday. Ben and I wheeled them down to the beach, hopped in and paddled down the river to the park down town and then back. I wasn't expecting the water to be as not-frigid as it was, though I certainly didn't test it by getting in... It's pretty low though, so unless we get some good precipitation between now and July it won't take long until it's swim-able. Oh man, I can't wait.

Oh, and I took the road bike out for it's first ride of the season. Already averaging 15-16 mph, which is significantly faster than last year at this time. Triathlon, here I come!
