Haiku – The “Cloudy Day” Run
Fat rain heavy clouds
Thick with spring’s warm liquid drops
Ready to descend

Not a bad walk/run today. Just did a timed run, didn’t count the miles, 30 minutes up and back. Nice to get out in the fresh air. Love this time of year.
By the way, Jason Aldean is another good artist to run along with:

Haiku – The “Good Day Sunshine” Run
Heaven’s empty cup
Poured out the warm blue filled skies
Easy gentle day

Great run today! Just love, love, love, love, love, love, etc. days like this. Nice and warm not too hot not too cold. My body just seems to respond so much better to it. By the way, Eric Church’s “Chief” album is a great one to run along with. Always have good runs when I listen to it.

Poem – Fuzzy Bodyguard
I’m your favorite toy
Roughed, stuffed, and loved
Protector from the night’s monsters
While your gentle soul sleeps

A nice evening to run even if it was cold once again. The wind died down so that helped a lot. I am still rocking the shorts though. I think only one time this winter I was forced into pants. I think that run had a wind chill down in the teens or something crazy like that. Hard to get me out of the shorts. I actually have winter shorts and summer shorts – if you can believe that.
Does anyone else out there who runs hate giving up on the shorts? When do you stop wearing them if you do?

Spring’s soothing calm warmth delayed
Winter’s harsh return

Haiku – The “Cold as Ice” Run
A light chilly breeze
On a cold clear blue sky day
Back to the freezer

Well, here we go again. After braving high temperatures on Saturday I am back to running in the cold not only for today, but Wednesday as well, if I make it out then. Just can’t get my body regulated right when the weather is so unpredictable. At least the walk/run was good – .5 walk, 2 mile run, .5 walk. Not bad at all when you realize I had to make myself go.
As a sidebar. Are there any Walking Dead fans out there? Great season so far. Can’t wait till the explosive final next week. I hope they end this one strong.

Haiku – Bat Signal
The Batsignal (or Bat-Signal) is a distress signal device appearing in the various interpretations of the Batman mythos. It is a specially modified Klieg searchlight with a stylized symbol of a bat attached to the light so that it projects a large Bat emblem on the sky or buildings of Gotham City.

Symbol of justice
In the darkest part of night
A beacon of hope

Clouds seem afraid to invade
Sunshine perfection

So nice to get a beautiful day to get outside. Nice to just go and clear my head. Hope the next run is just as grand. By the way, Happy Spring! Now, Mr. Winter, you can go ahead and take your vacation. I have had enough of you. I’m sure all of you can agree with that.

Haiku – The “Ice” Run
Soggy dreary day
30 minutes – no stopping
Bad weather – great run
•
Just a nasty day outside, ice on everything, cold, drizzly, miserable. There was no ice on the ground so I decided to just get out and run. I’m glad I did. One of the worst looking days this year and it turned out to be one of my better runs. Never can figure this running thing out. I honestly thought it was going to be one of my worst. Crazy.

Cold air approaching
In the distance, blue-grey skies
A winter storm soon

Diamond like twinkle

Poem – New Life
The morning cold breaks
Pierced by the warm sun rays
A world outside that’s so alive
Waiting on the summer haze

Magical fantastical spring
A harbinger of healing hope
Destroying winter’s frozen embrace
Natures way to cope

I wrote this a few mornings ago as I sat with my son while he ate his breakfast. I was sipping on coffee, enjoying the beautiful morning just glad to have a warm day in front of me. Now, today, I see it is ever so gently snowing. It isn’t much snow, barely can see it, but it is there. I think I called it snow drizzle because it is so faint. 34 degrees fahrenheit right now. Two days ago it was almost seventy degrees fahrenheit. Just crazy weather this year. Anybody else done with winter and wish it would just go far away?
By the way, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Wearing of the green
On St Patrick’s Day it is customary to wear shamrocks and/or green clothing or accessories (the “wearing of the green”).
St Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish.[13][14] This story first appears in writing in 1726, though it may be older. In pagan Ireland, three was a significant number and the Irish had many triple deities.[15] The triple spiral symbol appears at many ancient megalithic sites in Ireland.
