The Sop-Mop Southeast Park Seven


South East Park
Originally uploaded by toadshade
This was the inaugural run of this jog which combines South East Tennis Park with my Dickcissel Field run for total of seven miles. It was 90, still and humid and I was dripping with sweat 2 miles into the run. I took it slow and easy, took on a lot of water and had a decent time of it, in spite of the humid conditions. South East Park yielded a few birds - Eastern Kingbirds and Red-winged Blackbirds. Dickcissel Field provided me with a good glimpse of an Indigo Bunting before he flew into the cornfield. Again, a few Widow Darner dragonflies and quite a few of the various Sulphur butterflies along with a few Buckeyes. Really need to pick up a few short daily runs to go with these longer ones if I'm gonna get in shape for a backpacking adventure or a marathon.
