Running... Again?

Image
  If you know me you know there was a time about 10 years ago or so where I was running. A lot. At least 5 days a week and at least 5 miles a run. I wasn’t training, I wasn’t preparing for a race or a marathon. I just found myself enjoying the time spent running. I wasn’t obsessed with numbers, but I kept track of them all and liked seeing improvements in time and distances. It was good physical health and mental health. Then I tweaked my knee. Not bad enough that I couldn’t walk on it, just a tweak that told me I needed to back off of running for a little bit. So I decided on 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks I aborted a run very early as the pain was still there. 2 weeks became 3, became a month, became 5 years. 

Cape Blanco Lighthouse

Cape Blanco Lighthouse at Cape Blanco, OR If you've noticed I have a thing for photographing lighthouses. This is a little farther up the hill from my  earlier post  and is pretty simple, as lighthouses go. It has a great view of Cape Blanco. A year after taking this set of shots and I'm a little disappointed in my framing. All of my shots of this lighthouse make it look like it's on a grassy hill that could either be on the coast or 10 miles inland. This shot at least has a sliver of the cove in the background.

Jurassic Park!

Prehistoric Gardens isn't quite Jurassic Park, sadly, but it looks like a fun spot to take the family while on a road trip. I didn't enter the park, mainly due to time constraints, but I had to stop and have a look at T-Rex in the parking lot. Posting this through the Blogger App on my tablet to see how this works.

Is This Thing On?

Cape Blanco, Oregon *Tap tap tap* Is this thing on? Is this thing even working? Do I even know how to do this anymore? Do I even want  to do this? All good questions, with some (hopefully) being answer with this post. Meaning if you can see it, it's on and working. The other questions? Well, who knows at this point. But, if you're seeing this, congrats! You probably had the RSS feed (which may or may not still be working), or some other little service I was using over a year ago is still shooting this out to social media. What brought me back? Am I back?  What brought me back is easy. A couple days ago  +Blogger  released a, well, blog, detailing some new themes: https://blogger.googleblog.com/2017/03/share-your-unique-style-with-new.html . I didn't hate them, and in fact liked one (the one hopefully you see here) and I went poking around, and re-kicking the tires to see if anything else about Blogger had changed. On first glance, nothing else has changed, which is
