inspiring trail envy
Runners are meant to go off road. It is good for our souls. Some scenes of the Rocky River near Cedar Point from my favorite running trail:
Why didn’t anyone tell me my hair was getting this thin. Ouch. Maybe I should shave what’s left off. Eeep.
And why didn’t anyone tell me I look so pale? Double eep. It might be time for a moratorium on Jenny pictures.
On the other hand, this may have been the best picture of the day:
Its a bright orange tiger lily that I found growing wild by the side of the river bank. I spotted it from the running trail: a lone fiery flower.
It was growing wild in solitary splendor. I zoomed in with my camera to get the image and I think it came up pretty well. Normally I am particularly bad at taking pictures of flowers.
Its hot in Cleveland. Altogether now: “How hot is it?”
Hotter than the surface of the sun. Hotter than Hades. Hotter than the barrel of a Confederate cannon at Gettysburg on July 3.
Although everything looks lush and green along the running trail, it actually hasn’t rained in quite awhile here. We could really use some thunderstorms to break the heat.

I have definite trail envy. It looks gorgeous!! I love your photo, too. I think you look strong and beautiful.
Trail envy is putting it mildly. :-)
Did they give you long-acting narcotics during your last treatment?!?
You like quite attractive to me in that photo. One of the better ones I have seen of you. I looked at the larger version: I see pink cheeks and your hair looks normal.
Argh. Women… always complaining about how they look!
Thanks for the trail pics, Jenny. At least they look cool; it’s in the 90s and humid here today.
As for how you look, well, I don’t have many “before” pics to compare, but you look fine to me, too. I know perfectly healthy women who are paler and have even thinner hair than yours. What’s important is, you’re here, and you’re still out there trying (also something a lot of healthy people can’t say, myself included).
My cheeks better be pink; it was 90 degrees when that picture was taken. :)
My hair presents a quandary: there’s still a lot there, yet what is there IS getting very thin (in spots). Moreover, what is there is still growing!
We have NO trails in South Florida. Unless you want to count mountain biking trails. Runners aren’t allowed on those.
I think you nice and healthy, btw.
Wow, that’s a nice trail. I like the trail I use here in NC, but it doesn’t have near the views of those pictures.
And I would echo the others sentiments, you look fine.
