The first tulips of the season from the self-pick farm. The stems were quite short but I wanted some colour
Today was a beautiful day and the wind was cool and strong – not enough to stop me going for a run. Well, that’s what I thought as I was leaving the house!
After last Monday’s effort, where I felt I could run my best time on the 4km track, I started off on the 5km loop and within 800m had an ice-cream headache. Mine comes inside my ears and it feels like both ear drums will explode. The wind was cool and fierce and before I knew it, I had to walk. That’s the first time I’ve ever had to walk this year. Couldn’t even manage a shuffle in some parts. I’ve been told it could be because I’m dehydrated but I thought I had that covered today. 😦
While it was disappointing, and slow, it was still good to be outdoors, taking in all this:
Leaving our property and heading into the woods
I stopped running about here. Windy!
Nice view of the Alps
Soon this will all be yellow rape seed
Clouds and sunshine … and wind!
Even walked most of the downhill
Empty animal houses on the homeward stretch
The cows were back in the sunshine at my favourite property
The Alps and cows again
A study in cow
I spent a lot of time on the computer today, listening to the Tibetan bells and ocean sounds, setting up a Google+ account for fitfor15in15. I wonder if it will be worth the trouble?! My friend Kate from The Outdoor Diaries helped out. Thanks Kate!

I didn’t plant this tulip in my garden! The wind must have brought it here
Same goes for these two!
