I took this picture on my jogging route yesterday. Called Maypop by the local folks and Passionflower otherwise due to it's scientific name of Passiflora incarnata. It is a Medicine Plant of the North in the Cherokee system. Used with Peppermint for a calming effect. The flower grows wild and is stunning to see.
My run went as well as it could be on a sweltering humid day. I was hydrated well and had a good strong run except for a run-in with some fire ants who didn't care for my recycling efforts right next to their mound. They pretty well let me know it with that endearing way that fire ants have of biting the hell out of you. I reckon their Green Philosophy was different from mine!!
I did 5 miles in 49:43 at 9:57 per mile. It was good to beat a 10 minute per mile pace on such a hot day!!
