Japanese Magnolias that is! Another Spring sign of the longer days with more sunlight. Nature seems to know it before we do. The Cedar Waxwings were Sweetgum sitting instead of Hackberry hopping today. It's good to have these Winter and Spring birds around for a while. This was a brisk 6 mile training run around Sunview Lake in 57:03 at a 9:30 per mile pace. Being the third run in 3 days, my 58 year old body was showing signs of fatigue in the last 3 miles. Not too much of a drop in pace though. I took a bathroom break in a small grove of Loblolly Pines. A Brown-headed Nuthatch provided musical accompaniment.
As I type this there's a thunderstorm going on outside - in February!! Will be looking forward to the 2 day rest before my 16 on Saturday. Have 80 miles on the month so far. My goal is 100 miles and, at this rate, I'll get that and more.
