They are indeed my peaty feet. I took it on the Isle of Harris after I walked across the moors and mountains in barefeet (it felt good...I'm not really a hippy) and that is a rusting buoy from a ship that I found on the beach.Quote:

am feeling very tired
but also slightly wired
think I ate too much tonight
would like to go to bed
but am sitting here instead
I know it really isn't right
my duvet is now beckoning
it is the time of reckoning
I see the evening's end is in sight
I haven't, its sounds interesting. I do enjoy running and walking in grass barefoot. That day I walked nine miles but I did get small cuts and blisters from the heather.Quote:

I will look out for it Tri. I am beat, going to have to go to bed. Goodnight Tri and Merry, see you soon.
Merry me and thee kid. Do you own a tent ?. Thinking about getting one for emergencies. You know super light and small.
Good night everyone.
Every day is a fresh beginning,
Listen my soul to the glad refrain.
And, spite of old sorrows
And older sinning,
Troubles forecasted
And possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again

No lightweight tent, only a six-manner and a tin-tent on wheels;)Quote:

If the lady be young and fair.'
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.
O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.

Glad you had a good day.
That story made me chuckle! I was running with my headtorch the other evening, in fact I think it was the evening of my poem, and I lit up a field of sheep so that all you could see were hundreds of pairs of glowing orbs. It was really wierd. Quite unnerving...not as much as your moggy though.:)Quote:

The sheep, the rocks.
And still no sheep stirs from its place
Or lifts its Babylonian face.

unnerving Harry
the night cat at close quarters
a puma at large
For all the year's I've been running I've never been attacked by a dog, but I have been legged up and mugged by a sheep though. They got spooked by my torch, started running and one suddenly swerved and ran straight into me. I ended up flat out, face in the mud, then promptly got trampled by another one. They have pointy feet I can tell you! :eek:Quote:

Very good Hes, I like it. :)Quote:

That's the finest rhyme I've ever read, (about a sheep!) :D

My runs are like my life in general. Mostly quiet then permeated by exciting times!Quote:

...must get this blooming prep finished and then I won't be stressed tomorrow and can go for a run before my classes:
I've got to run
working tonight because
I've got to run
hope to see you later.
Excellent...a man after my own heart...I once cycled at breakneck speed through a wood on the way home from a friend's house because I thought someone was chasing me and it turned out to be my backpack straps flapping and occasionally hitting my helmet. It was a very dark wood:oQuote:

Running faster places no distance
between the pursuer and the pursued.
The threat is real
the danger less so.
The secret is in knowing
when to run
and when to stop,
look, and listen again.
It remains a secret.
Yes, two races in two days. Bronte moors looked fab today with just the odd patch of snow and bits of misty cloud here and there :cool: Legs are utterley mashed now :eek:Quote:
