Notes
a bit chilly today. long run in barefoot shoes, a first. feet a bit sore, but less so than calves which continue to bother me esp going down stairs. good news is hips feel fine, no pain or stiffness whatsoever. saw a giant white heron in the rice paddies. they've plowed up the weeds in the river along the first stretch where the valley opens up into farms and rice paddies--bad news for the birds but maybe worse news for the farmers? especially if it chases them into the farms to find stuff to eat. wonder why the feel the need to cut down all the weeds in the river. mr. ito invited me to see his garden today and i left with a big bouquet of flowers--not sure what they are, cross between tigerlily and azaelia ???
