Determined to make a better blog post today, I put my Tablet into a shoulder bag and set put on a walk. I had an idea to finally photograph a couple of the hills I sometimes run up. Accordingly, I turned left onto German Street and headed towards Herkimer College (previously known as HCCC).
Would it have helped to get closer to the slope?
Out Maple Grove is what I call a minor hill. It is a bit of an effort. I turned up the street that Y’s off Maple (alas, I cannot remember its name), where there is a steeper hill I sometimes run. On the way, I tried to get a better shot of Maple.
Rats! You can’t see the slope any better!
This is steeper than it looks, when you are actually on it.
I walked up the steeper way, getting a little out of breath, and headed towards Lou Ambers Drive, for a shot of a really good hill.
Around that curve, and up a little more, is Herkimer College.
I did not walk up the hill but went down toward German Street, pausing to take a picture of some green that caught my eye.
It does my tired heart good to see green.
A little further down is the spring I take a drink from when the weather is not too cold.
This is a godsend on long runs.
On the corner of Lou Ambers and German is Salvatore’s Pizzeria and Restaurant, one of our favorite places.
We’ve been getting delivery from them lately.
I continued home, pausing only once more to take a picture of some daffodils.
They were in front of Trinity Lutheran Church.
It was a pleasant walk. I shall have to run those hills again soon.
