Buddy, running & Dreamwidth
1 May 2009 03:14 pmMy happy meme may be over but I'm having such a lovely day with so many happy-making moments. :-)
The bluebells are simply gorgeous in the wood & Bud & I had such a lovely walk this morning. Though the pesky little devil did get into one of the horse fields & refused to come out until he was good & ready! *g*
Then I went for a really great run - along the towpath out into the fields & then circling back through the country lanes. A buzzard landed not twenty feet in front of me!
I'd only planned to run 6 miles but missed my turn off the towpath & ended going a little farther - but I'd've missed seeing the buzzard if I'd gone my planned route. *g*
I did 7.25 miles in the end & it felt good. I also tested out my new running shorts (I love getting new kit!) They're Asics & incredibly light. They're a tad on the big size (I should have ordered the XS not the S it seems) but because they're lycra-style technical fabric they tend to mould to your body anyway so there was no rubbing or discomfort.
Here they are if anyone's looking for new kit - I can thoroughly recommend them.
Oh, I noticed a spider while I was drying my hair. It wasn't too big & so I felt confident I could catch it on a piece of paper & free it out of the window. So off I went to open the window & then when I got back - no spider but Bud smacking his chops! He'd eaten it! Oh, Buddy! LOL
There's a lot of Dreamwidth chatter on my flist at the moment. I have opened an account - I'm Bluespirit there (nice to get my actual name!) if anyone wants to friend me (or whatever the DW term is!) but at the moment I don't have any plans to post there. I'm hoping that people will cross-post & I can still catch up with my flist here on LJ (I'm a dinosaur & don't like change) but I've got the account just in case everyone does decamp & I'm the last one standing! *g*
I really don't want to lose touch with anyone.
*hugs*
