little wheel spin and spin

Buffy Saint-MarieToday’s blog title is a reference to the wonderful song, by Buffy Saint Marie. Ah, but you knew that, didn’t you?

What? You’re not a big BS-M fan? No, I didn’t think so. She’s criminally underrated, in my opinion or, as the kids say: “IMHO”.

Turn your back on weeds you’ve hoed
silly sinful seeds you’ve sowed
Add your straw to the camel’s load
Pray like hell when your world explode

Quite a cool song though - very paranoid, apocalyptic, mysterious. She had a real presence, Ms Buffy.

Running
12k this morning, including 2 laps of Princes Park. I attempted some fartlek in a half hearted sort of way. That’s the plan at the moment: cut back down to 3-4 runs a week. Long run on Sunday, and one each of hills and speed sessions during the week.

Balloon
A happy site while running: a hot-air balloon came overhead attempting to land on one of the football ovals.

For some reason balloons always make me smile.

I’ve never been in one. I suspect it’s either boring or terrifying, depending on your attitude to heights. Still, it was nice to run along underneath it for a while.

    In the mornings around the Tan you can see the balloon riders getting ready to head to the take off site- I try to pick out the ones who are preparing to propose.

    I love the Balloons too, nearly done myself a mischief a few times trying to watch them while driving to work.

    Nice song, she is a woman after my own heart.
