Having just committed myself to another Half Marathon thought it would be good to get a post out before training takes over ALL my free time. This will be the earliest in the race season I’ve run this distance. Usually I build over the course of the season starting with the 5Ker’s moving to the 15K, back to the 7mi and THEN prepare for the final two halfs of the year. Decided to short change that process a little and simply start with the 13.1. No, I didn’t go crazy – umm, that may be up for debate. Regardless, there is a reason and we’ll leave it at that. The downside is it means there wasn’t really an off season this year as I continued to run through the winter months (yes, even outside when the temps actually got about 20). Hoping the body holds together!
Oops, enough about my self-inflicted torture, let’s get to the post shall we.
I almost titled this post as Live and Let Die but that will make more sense later in the post. Thought it would be fun to fall back on the memories when Globull Warming allowed me to go outside and spend time on the porch for more than 3 minutes at a time. Take a look at this find
Creeeeepy. I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve seen such a creature. Definite concerns as to whether it could inflict harm on me or not. It was definitely scary looking with the wings folded, but when I saw it with the wings spread I took an extra step back and got my wits before going in with the Macro again – looking through that glass puts you right up close and personal.
Hit the jump unless you don’t want to see the up close shots (but at least you’ll learn what it is!)
