Everybody Loves the Sunshine



What can I say? "Just bees and things and flowers" M and I saw a huge walking stick at McKinney Falls on our bike ride and then bombed down Congress. Mark said he clocked us going 30 mph. I was going WHEEEE!

not even the fish

were moving as I ran down shoal creek. I could see them in the water not moving. I wonder if it was because the water was hot as well? There they were just drifting along. They made me smile and their non-energy gave me energy to keep going, perhaps I would come across some other moments and I did like the kids running up to their grandparents that had just pulled up from out of town. These are some of the reasons I like being outside versus in a gym.

the better to smell you with

I've always said that when I run I feel like my sense of smell is heightened as if a wolf hunting down my prey. Those smells are not always pleasant most of which come from me, yuck. But lately lavender has been in bloom and there is a bush on one of my running routes so lately as I running by I've been grazing it with my hand and smelling the wonderful clean soothing aroma-mmm.
