The Hairy Lobelia Rabbit Tobacci 6 Miler


Hairy Lobelia

I ran this hilly route that I don't often run in summer due to the heat, and was pleasantly surprised by the autumn like humidity; and the low angle of the sun rays that made everything sharper, crisper, more beautiful. My pace was a little faster too brought on by the low humidity. I did 6 miles in 59:12 at 9:52 per mile. On the nature side I came across some Hairy Lobelia, a beautiful autumn wildflower that grows here every year. I also came across my first (of many) vice - Rabbit Tobacco. Made me sick as a dog when I tried it as a kid but I kept at til I could smoke this harsh nasty tasting plant without heaving. Maybe that's a battle I should have lost because it sure as hell set a precedent!
