Yesterday was a fun day at the 14th Annual Larry Olsen 5k in Hopedale, Massachusetts! Donna and I both placed 1st in our age group. F70+ and M70+.

I was pleased to NOT have experienced any leg issues and it appears I am "good to go" for some additional racing plans for this coming weekend and beyond!
I've been paying a bit more attention to eating "cleaner" and practicing sitting meditations which always help to "free up" some otherwise aching joints among other things. Always a challenge in this "modern age," but not impossible to "find the time" to include. I may "add in" a new small drawing this week to make for more creative fun.
In the morning (today) I walked one mile as a cool down for yesterday's 3.1 mile race. It's funny -- sometimes, even on early, damp and cloudy mornings picture taking can "turn up" the most interesting things. One particular perennial garden quite close to home ALWAYS seems to yield the most beautiful colors -- all (plants) so well manicured and arranged on a slope next to a home which I've often thought "belonged" on the front cover of Home and Garden magazine. Here's a sample of some of these plants -- and a few others which seemed to 'stand out' in the early morning hours today:
This image above was taken in the evening on the day before the race. It shows the sun "close up" in the smokey atmosphere from current Canadian wild fires.
Looking west up Main Street in Ayer toward the 1949 (built) railroad overpass bridge (image taken at about 5:30 am on my walk).
Hibiscus flowers (I think) ... or maybe Rose Mallow
Unknown plant seed pod. Possibly a Thistle
