This morning I ran eight miles around the vineyards on Chehalem Mountain. Here's a sampling of the random tidbits floating through my mind as I enjoyed a gorgeous morning run.

1. The weather this "winter" has been incredible. Seriously. It has hardly rained. Earlier in the winter we had some unseasonably cold days that made it actually feel like winter. I loved running in the crisp, dry cold. The weather at this point (end of winter) is typically wet and cold. I expect to get wet when I run in March. Instead, we've had dry days with mild temps bordering on warm. We've even had a few days with blue skies and bright sunshine. AWESOME! This morning I ran in a tank, shorts and compression sleeves and sock, and of course my gloves since the go everywhere with me. I love Newberg!

2. I need more compression socks. I got my first pair of compression socks for Christmas. They are white in the front, but have an American flag design on the back. Can you say, "CAH-UTE?" It's only been warm enough to run in them a few times, but I really like them. It's a nice change from my run-in-them-all-winter capris. I think there is supposed to be a physical benefit to wearing compression socks (maybe we should assign this to Carissa to research) but I just wear them cause they are cute. I definitely want to get a couple more pairs.
