Hurts so good

Back to IronStrength

But completely forgetting

What a bitch it is

Home Sweet Home

Welcome home with a 

brisk, sunny winter woods walk - 

Steve, Mully and me.

Homeward bound

Bright, stripey sunrise

Driving home on I-95

Feels like a good day

Every time

Sending the kids off

Hugging, saying our goodbyes,

gives me a throat lump

Great Falls Walk

Walking with Isa

Rushing, pouring water chutes

Feeling Thanksgiving

8801 Clewerwall

Family whirlwind

of noise nonstop talking

We're thrown together

Field Trip

Cape Henlopen park

Pine straw trail, salt marsh, seashore

Easy, happy day.

The Day After

Not feeling too sore

Just that 'day after' feeling

Good achy, some 'ow'

Done

A glass of bourbon

while I'm soaking in the tub

Marathon reward

Marathon Eve

I have no idea

what will happen tomorrow

Except for smiling

Morning Colors

Orange and blue sunrise

A striped flag, waving, shifting

its shape as I watch

Woods Music

The sound of water

flowing, rolling in the stream

echoes the soft wind

Wonderful and Ridiculous

Festive apple trees

Dingleball decorated

Very Seussical!

Huh

Red sky at morning

I wonder what's the warning.

I guess I'll find out.

Path Surface

Tan flattened beech leaves

pressed down into a smooth film,

spread thin on the trail.

NH Run

Running somewhere new

Not quite sure where, or how far.

A good change of pace. 

Sunny Inside

Wet washy gray sky

Puddles and a blowy wind

But I'm going running!

Phew

Happy happy news!

No, it's not a stress fracture. 

Feeling light, lifted!

Back at it

Studio workout - 

spinning, push ups, sit ups, core - 

even some speedbag 

My Entertainment

Leaving little bits

of whimsy along the trail

for someone to find.

MRI

In the MRI

A symphony of buzzes

whooshes, beeps and pings

Dusk Walk

Cold clear early dusk.

The mountains to the east glow

a deep, dark purple

Finally

I feel like someone

has opened up the blinds and

let the sun shine in

Hillside Larch Line

Those yellow larches

A line of pointy dunce caps

striped bright on the hill

Closing in

Birch beech tall tall oaks

with just a few small brown leaves

still left, clinging tight

Early Drive

Driving to the pool

polka dotted sky filled with

pink cotton fluff clouds

Tasty

Pomegranate seeds

like bloody pink baby teeth

add crunch to salad

Scared

My hip really hurts - 

Afraid that it's something bad.

Waiting, worrying.

Back home

So nice to be home

in my warm, soft, squishy bed. 

post-long-run sound sleep.

Philly Long Run

Long, slow 20 miles

Along the Schuykill River - 

So many runners!
