First Finch

This day started out great. The above photo is of the very first bird that has visited my new feeder. At least the first one that I have seen. It must be a finch of some kind, I'm really confused about birds. I have three bird books and none of them have pictures that look like the birds I see in my back yard. I must live in a twilight zone.

A very nice day was today. The sun was out wall to wall, and there was very little wind. A bit chilly though, but still nice enough to go for a run. This makes two days in a row. A hilly route yesterday and a shorter flat route today.

Happy Trails,

Live long and prosper

This is turning into a weekly blog instead of daily. I must do better.

Yesterday I read an article in Time Magazine by Sanjay Gupta, M.D. titled Run For Your Lives. Studies assert that not only have there been fewer deaths in the runners vs non runners group, but runners have put off disability for 12 to 16 years longer than the non runners. I don't know how long I can put off the grim reaper, but I hope he is out of breath when he catches up with me. So I went for a run. It was a beautiful afternoon sunny but cool and little wind, a perfect day for a run. I felt great afterwords and even later in the evening I still had this sense of euphoria and well being. We should all do this more often. - Bill
