Yesterday I said I wasn’t planning to run again this week, but the paths were clear, the weather was above freezing, and I couldn’t resist. I nice morning for a run! Not sure how much of it was my vision and how much was moist, gray air , but everything looked extra blurry today. I didn’t even recognize Dave the Daily Walker until he greeted me by name.
10 Things
- happy, shouting kids somewhere on the hill between edmund and the parkway — were they sledding? I couldn’t see them, but that’s what it sounded like
- open water — dark gray
- fee bee fee bee
- a runner passing me from behind wearing a bright yellowish-green shirt that looked like the same one I had on under my vest and sweatshirt — was it for the 10 mile race from 5 years ago, like mine?
- stopped at my new favorite bench and looked down the slope at the white sands beach far below
- some voices down in the gorge — sounding far enough away to be on the other side
- the bells of St. Thomas chiming!
- one loud, deep bark up ahead — heard, not seen — I wonder how bit the dog was that made that sound?
- the walking trail is completely covered with snow — no bare walking trail until spring?
- more than once, the distant knocking of a woodpecker up in a tree
