Our Spring has been damp, accompanied by a distinct absence of heat. The bright side to this dreary spring is the lush values of green all around our state from the desert to the sound. This weekend the tripod took off on a road trip to wallow in the mud. Friday we headed West and ended the day with a lovely Italian dinner with family. In the early hours of Saturday the rain started to fall and the gray mists covered the hills and trees. After dressing in colorful tutus and knee socks we made our way to Remlinger Farms for the Survivor Mud Run.
Challenged by the elements to compete in an event in what I would compare to five days of camping. And god knows I'm not much of a camper. Obstacles courses that challenged the muscles while battered by real and fake elements. We trekked through cow shit, mud, rivers and puddles. Some climbed big walls and some climbed rope walls, we even cut threw an underground culvert to be presented with the best tasting banana ever and actually a pretty cool medal too. This may shock some....but it was rather fun....and I think I would do it again.
As we crested the pass this morning we saw ahead of us this years elusive sun and driving further East we met up with the Ellensburg winds that pushed us home. I soaked in a hot tub and massaged muscles with heat seeking cream while watching a romantic comedy and just suddenly felt that love was just around the corner. The winds of change were bringing change. Summer is coming in with that next breeze, the days will be brighter with the long light and just the plain old fact...
that summer just makes you feel good.
Day in and day out we don't get what we want in life, but the lesson behind it all is that we have to face that we can't win all the time and just by living life to the fullest, working hard and having fun while doing it we all deserve metals.
