I ran for a second day this morning. The calf is not bothering me as much if at all now. I hope to put in at least 2 more tomorrow morning. Here are the stats.

This is a closeup of the cirrus clouds overhead this morning.

New Years Day Run

My first run in 2012

Biking and Running

This is not a very "Natural" photo. It takes the place of earlier pictures just to let others know I am having a bit more success (than before) with getting back into shape. I may post more things similar to this here once I receive a new running watch in the mail next week. It does everything. I will explain more later about the 'Garmin 305 Forerunner' with heart monitor capability. For now though, this is a recap of my biking and running during the week of Thanksgiving.

Pokeweed and a Willow Tree

Before my 6 mile hilly run this evening, I took this picture of something called Pokeweed. It has begun to develop berries. They are poisonous to mammals. Birds eat the berries, but their hard seeds remain in tact within their digestive systems. The seeds do not remain in this state in mammals and are therefor toxic. I have Photo-shopped this image to be much brighter in color. A tree has been removed from the lower left and replaced with more sky.

Shortly before finding the pokeweed growing near my garden, I took this picture of a weeping willow tree. With a bit of "stretched imagination" one might see the famous Horse-Head nebulae in the Constellation of Orion!

This celestial object is just barely visible to the naked eye. It is located in the "sword" just underneath Orion's 3-star "belt." This is the Horsehead nebula.
