Catkins and 8 Miles


Hickory Catkins

I did a 10 miler at 1:39:18 at 9:56 per mile. I think my times are going to dwindle if I don't start hitting the roads more. I could really feel it in the last mile and a half. Was pretty dehydrated and had to take on a lot of fluids afterwards. But I'm 58 years old and, as the current saying goes, it's all good!!

The picture of the catkins is indicative of the Spring growth virtually everywhere. I know it's one the Hickories, either Pecan, Shagbark or Mockernut. There's a new flower or leaf blossoming everyday and the perspective of the world changes with them. Good to be alive.
