The Handsome Man with Athletic Thighs
Running In Circles
 
Monday, February 4th


Since I seem to be on the tail end of a pretty nasty cold, I decided I was finally feeling good enough to start up my training. Again. I'm seriously far behind, but I won't catch up if I don't jump in.

I jogged an easy four miles, and I felt, surprisingly, decent. After my hard effort at Saturday's orienteering meet, I assumed I would be sore. Somehow, I wasn't.

My jog turned in a few good bird sightings. I saw a pair of Red-tailed Hawks contesting dominance of a telephone pole. A Great Blue Heron stood statue still 10 feet off the jogging path and watched me shuffle past. A dozen Black-capped Chickadees flitted about as if taunting my slow, earth-bound lumber.

All this and it didn't rain until after I'd finished running. It was a good day.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
