I thought they might be newly hatched but instead I realized they were older ..there is a nice hole in the lower left of this guys wing...not good. The other one had part of a wing missing too.
It's a tough life for a butterfly.
Not so great for me either...Tuesday I went out and just didn't have it..I was still tired from the hot, hilly Sunday run I guess. I was going to do 5 but took a short-cut home. One of the shortest runs I've done in ages.

Wednesday morning I felt stronger..so for this run I tried to kick it up after mile 3 to 130 bpm. I've been running long enough that I think I can do a "maf" pace that's 5bpm higher.
There were times during this run were I just wanted to stop and walk. ? I waited and the feeling passed. After the minor hill at mile 8 my efficiency went to pot. It's clear I'm not used to faster paces any more. Overall though a good run. Cadence could have been a bit faster though.

Thursday I forgot my HR monitor as I was running from work and forgot to pack it. I was all set to do some hill sprints but was just too beat from Wednesday...eventually I realized that I was just really low on fuel. I ate a roctane and felt ever so much better in a few minutes. I did do lower body weights and myrtle routine after.

Finally, if you live in Silicon Valley you are not surprised to see stuff like this:
Any takers ?
I love butterflies and we have quite a variety that visit our garden. I have kept the larvae like silkworms a few times if I know what leaves they eat and then hatch the butterflies. I often have bad runs and just take them as good mental training.
ReplyDeleteWE hatch butterflies every year in the classroom...the children LOVE watching the different stages, and once they hatch...we set them free!!! They really are beautiful creatures! That is a great pic you took!
ReplyDeleteI haven't really had any "good" runs lately...so I guess in my book I think you're doing great, ha ha!!
Have a great weekend and happy father's Day!!!
Interesting way to job hunt. Ha.
ReplyDeletePretty wacky, yes.
DeleteHow are you doing? Getting better?
