Hot muggy morning
Thick like a bowl of fresh soup
Big storms on the way

Haiku – The “Out with my Son in the Sun” Run
A warm sunny day
Birds, rabbits, Mother Nature
My boy amazed
•
Nice to get out with my son today. 40 Minute walk/run really helped to get the day started.
Any runners out there who have pushed a jogging stroller? Tough isn’t it.

Poem – Sometimes . . .
. . . I feel like a fighter
Pushed against the ropes
Chasing incomplete dreams
Each day living through hopes
One day I tell myself
You will have it come due
Tasting in the victory
So sweet so true

Haiku – The “Summer’s Coming” Run
A thick warm muggy night
Shirt plastered to my body
May heat has arrived
•
Two nights back to back, love this time of year. Nice walk/run this evening. 40 Minutes when he it was all said and done. 10 minute walk, 10 minute run, 10 minute walk, 10 minute run.
I had this song come on the MP3 player and I changed the lyrics a bit. Instead of back in a New York Groove, I replaced it with back in a Running Groove. Not sure why I had to share that, guess I just wanted to.
So, anybody else enjoying the nice late spring or early summer weather? Good bye winter.

Poem – Anchor
Strength in the chaos storm
While the world spins out of control around me
You hold me strong and tight
Anchored closely to thee

Haiku – Last Night’s Run – (5/5/2014)
Hint of winter cool
Soft breeze stirring up the air
Trees alive with sound

Haiku – A Good Cup of Coffee 10
Metal pot rattles
Caffeine goodness fills it up
1st cup on the way
•
Nothing like the smell of coffee in the morning, especially when you just can‘t seem to wake up. I did a lot of yard work yesterday, and though I’m not super sore, I am still really tired. Coffee should help, always does.
So, quick question: How many cups do you drink a day and when? Cream, sugar, anything odd you like to put in your coffee that most people probably would not?
Me. Usually one cup to get my day started and then another later on in the day. I also only do creamer, no sugar.
The others in this series start here: http://wp.me/p2kmxm-365
Need something to read while drinking that coffee. You can find my stuff on Kindle at this link (sorry for the shameful and blatant self promotion).

Haiku – The “Overcast Sky” Run
Hint of small raindrops
Chasing light grey-black storm clouds
Bruised dark red sunset
•
Not a bad walk/run tonight, kind of tough, kind of easy. Felt good just to get out after several rainy stormy days.

Haiku – The “Grey Sky” Run
The night reaching out
Feet slip slapping as I move
Daylight starts to dim
•
Deceiving night tonight. Felt cool inside the house with the windows open, so I thought thin long sleeve, shorts, vest, good to go – wrong! I had to stop about 2 miles in, shed the shirt, and put on the vest. Just got so hot, felt like I was roasting inside my clothes. Hard weather to dress for this time of year. Still managed a good run though. Happy about that.

Haiku – The “Azul II” Run
Christian Rock blasting
Religious epiphany
New shoes are awesome
*
I tell you what. I consider myself to be a somewhat decent tech guy, not great, but pretty good. I didn’t grow up with computers like kids these days (man I sound old saying that), but I’ve adapted pretty well to them. So, the point, yeah, got to rambling there just a bit. Still juiced from the run. Anyway, I can load my MP3 player like a champ, but when it comes to the IPod Shuffle, egads, totally lost. I checked everything about that IPod today, made sure my music files were on it, then I hit play once I was outside. The song sounded wrong. It was nothing I loaded today, not sure when it was loaded. So I started to flip around and found out that the music on the IPod wasn’t what I had put on there today. Couldn’t believe it. I went on with my run, and listened to what was on there, which turned out to be just what I needed to listen to today. It really helped clear my head. Strange how it works out like that.
Anybody else out there confused about how to load an Ipod or is it just me?
By the way, nice to have some fresh shoes, feeling great on the feet.

Cherry tree in bloom
Robin’s dance through pink blossoms
Happy for the spring

Delicate petals
Ground covered in silky pink
Thick with fallen blooms

Haiku – The “Night Coming On” Run
Breaking in new shoes
Tough stressful day behind me
Good walk/run cures all

Nice to get out this evening and clear the head. Something about good tunes, comfortable shoes, sunset, exercise, and warm weather that really just makes it all better.
How about you? What do you do to let off some steam?

Haiku – The “Azul” Run
Sneaky chilly breeze
An unexpected cool day
Springtime so fickle
¤
Nice to go run in a new location today, down where my parents live. They were on grandparent duty, so I had the time to get out on my own for a bit. A great day to be outside even with the coolness in the air. Beautiful sunshine, cloudless sky, just a wonderful late April day.

Haiku – Easter Sunrise
The stone rolled away
Tomb now open and empty
Jesus has risen

Luke 24:6-7
He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ “

Haiku – The “Brrrr, It’s Winter Again” Run
A cool rainy day
Feet splish-splashing on the ground
Getting in some miles

Yeah, it was cold, wet, and nasty out there today, but I had to go. I just had to get the legs moving no matter what the weather was like. It felt good just to get out. Nice way to clear the head. Also, the hot shower afterwards helped a lot. So, what is the worst weather you have run in? Just curious.
