I had meant to make a Running Commentary Post today, but these are best made soon after the run. It was some hours ago that I ran (by a very generous definition of the word) up the hill to Herkimer College (affectionately known as HCCC or H-trip-C). It is a pretty good hill. I would like to say I ran it triumphantly, but feelings of triumph were to follow. At the time I felt pretty damn miserable. But here I am runningly commenting when I decided to do a Lame Post Friday post after all.
Non-sequitur illustration.
I took this picture yesterday, I think. I was delighted to see buds on the tree, and it looked so pretty against the blue sky. I have not been running enough, but I manage to get in at least a short to medium walk almost every day.
Pretty!
I paused on my cool-down walk to take a picture of these crocuses. Some people may roll their eyes and say, “We KNOW what a crocus looks like!” I explain to them, “Shut up.” (That is a line from S.J. Perelman, ” ‘Shut up,’ the policeman explained.”)
I zoomed in a little closer.
I confess I stepped a few feet onto these people’s front yard. Nobody came out and yelled at me nor fired a shotgun. You never know around here.
One white crocus to make me happy.
I was across the street from my house at the end of my cool down when I saw a couple patches of white. A crocus? Don’t get your hopes up, I told myself; it is probably garbage. Well, one of the white spots was, but the other was a crocus. Yay!
So this is my blog post today. Not quite a Running Commentary, and a little bit of spring. I hope you are all having a lovely Friday.
