It's 9AM

How Hot Was It?

How Many Do You See? I shot this on my run yesterday/ let me know what you see

I went for a walk/run on Friday night chasing sunsets

and came back on the edge of twilight to a city skyline lit up like a Christmas tree laying on it’s side

(Here's the view)

The Travs were playing a home game on one side of me

And I jogged past the guys setting up for the fireworks show

Part of me wanted to stop and watch

Not the set up

But the explosions go boom boom in the nighttime sky

Except…

I was tired

I have a goal to run 2 miles for every beer I drink at a Happy Hour when I visit my favorite brewery

And a long game in Atlanta I was watching on my phone

Where my favorite 13 year old player got a grand slam

Had me four beers deep

Which called for 8 miles in the waning heat

Dropping from “feels like 109” to a balmy 95

So I ran all the way from downtown out to the edge of Burns Park and beyond

Sweating off everything I drank and more

Eight turned to Ten because I was there

And watching the sun go down

So I was grooving

Then turned back so I wouldn’t do most of the Trail in the dark

I was too tired to stay and found out why when I got back from the run and stepped on the scale

I lost 7. something pounds running

Sure, it was just water, but that’s a lot of liquid to drop in a few short hours

Even if I was hydrated from Mexican lager with extra limes

So I sat on the sofa and drank a few big glasses of water to top off the tank

And be ready for the run the next day

Which you can see above

Hotter still than the evening run with a “feels like 110”

All that rain that turned the earth to mush was being cooked up out of the ground by a sun that felt pissed at something

Making the air thick, and the sweat slick

Making the pavement sticky and around the edge of the corner, half a mile from the house

I heard something running in the greenbelt that separated a neighborhood from the back road

Something big and crashing through the bush

So I froze and stared and saw this-

Standing there long enough for me to pull my phone out of pocket and click on video and capture what I could

Dappled in sunshine laced shadows

Hidden in plain sight

A treat for the eyes and possibly the soul and I waited until they moved for me to start moving again

Opposite directions, them one way and me the other,

And their white tails way more fleet than I would ever be

Bounding through the underbrush, leaving me with a memory

Did you grab these yet?
