Haiku – The “Cherry Blossoms” Run
Dark black clouds hanging
Thick, fat, heavy with spring rain
Running hard today

Good day out there on the old running shoes. I had one of my better timed runs. For the 4 mile walk/run that I usually do, I don’t think, of course, don’t quote me on this, but I don’t think I have been under 50 minutes since I started doing it. I was just over 48 minutes earlier today, which may not seem like much to most folks, but for me that is a turning point. I’ve always been a slow runner. Nice to see the legs maybe churning in my favor. How about you, fellow runners, what kind of times do you shoot for? Do you have a best time, one you are proud of? Just shout it out to me if you do.
By the way, there’s a reason I love Jimmy Buffett’s music so much. I wasn’t sure I was in the mood for it when I started running today, but after a couple of songs I was feeling those mellow vibes all over again. Just something about his tunes that takes me away, and hooks me every time. I have always loved this song below, and I never tire of it. Classic.

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:

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.

I’m your favorite toy
Roughed, stuffed, and loved

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?

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.

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.
