Day 211: Tues March 11th -
Day Two Hundred-eleven - What a difference a day makes.

Look at what a difference a day makes!
Yesterday morning at this time, the weather was windy and warm. 24 hours later I was running in snow, sleet and 34 degrees again.
I didn't mind however.
The past few weeks have been on the mild side, so the snowy morning and brisk temperatures made for a nice change.

Day 209 and 210 - Sticks and Stones
Very warm out during this mornings run. Again, the warm before the storm. Snow is forecast for some areas within the valley.
With the exception of a couple dogs and one owner, the trail was quiet. Jax is limping again, poor guy injured his left paw a couple days ago. After giving him a few days off , I left him off leash so he was able to go his own pace. He loved sniffing and peeing on every bush, sprinting ahead, waiting and peeing some more.
There are so many beautiful sights up here on the trail nearest the mountains. I am excited for the wild spring flowers to come out of hiding. They will again frame the narrow northern trail with thousands of small purple blooms, so beautiful, they look like each one was perfectly painted in place. Until then, I enjoy the stones, the river and the coolest little shack / pad someone(s) built out in the field.

Day 208: Sat March 8th - Who lost their marble?
Day Two Hundred-eight: Who lost their marble?
.jpg)
A singular marble.... alone, lost, unspoken for. I snapped a photo then took it with me. It swims with a single fish now, in a tank on my kitchen counter. It glows there. Pretty in the light. It's not lost anymore.

Day 206: Thurs March 6th - Magical moments in the ordinary
Day Two Hundred-six: Magical moments in the ordinary
.jpg)
The exposure of this photo came out looking like a parallel universe giving us a peek into what is possible. (My interpretation)
The colors, sunlight and glow of an everyday object in the distance, became magical, in what would ordinarily.......be ordinary. My eyes caught a glimpse, far in the distance, of what appeared to be a bright glowing globe floating just above the ground. I quickly took a photo trying to capture what I was seeing.The photo gave partial confirmation to my imagining mind, but in person from a ways back, the object gave off an intense glow and hovered as the sun threw it's rays in just the right way, making it difficult to see what was behind the mystery.
It made me think of finding magic in the ordinary. When we open our eyes to the possible, beautiful, original, and sometimes unexplainable, we are in essence, seeing magic in it's true form.

Day 205: Wed Mar 5th - Frosty with a touch of Frozen
.jpg)
A bit colder this morning than I had anticipated, but still beautiful out.
Unfortunately my heel is giving me grief again. This time it's not directly my Achilles tendon, but more so the boney part of the heel itself. I've had this plague me before, but it was in my late teens years ago. I think the day to day running stress is aggravating my heel. Frustrating, since the heel is quite
.jpg)
an unforgiving place to have an injury.The bone area of my heel is swollen, but not a blister from rubbing, more like a growing bone spur. Each footfall is a reminder. The pain can be quite intense, at least during the first mile or so. Then it seems to lessen a bit and I am able to ignore and enjoy the rest of my run. I use ice, yoga and stretching to lessen the pain and lengthen my Achilles and calf... but so far it isn't doing much. Any suggestions? 'Not running' cannot be one of them however. At least not yet. :/Tuesday, March 4, 2014
Day 204: Tues Mar 4th - Rocky Path
Day Two Hundred-four - it's a Rocky Path....watch out
.jpg)
This photo was actually taken the day before, it was much too dark earlier this morning, so my original photo ended up a dark gray blur. Right now I'm listening to the rain outside. I wish I were running right now. The rain storm smells fresh and is quite lovely. I've enjoyed the warm Spring temperatures we've had lately, but I love a good rain storm. I feel for the seemingly endless freezing storms plaguing the East coast.

Day 201: Sat March 1st - Windy
Day Two Hundred-one - Windy Saturday
.jpg)
I'd like to curse the wind for NOT cooperating with me this morning.
If the wind is blowing against you with all it's might uphill on the way to the trail, wouldn't it make sense that on the way back down it would help push you along? Not this morning! Instead it pushed against me just as much on the way back home. Whew.... the wind must have been in a bad mood, for it even blew down this innocent tree. Ha.
