Yesterday was warm and I did the usual exercise circuit at the track, with extended sprint distances :
120m/120m/120m/240m/120m/400m/120m/500m/120m/400m/120m/240m/120m/120m
I left the track and walked to the beach and sat on a log. A pine cone appeared at my feet and I placed it in my bag, intending to offer it to the Wishing Tree.
When I returned home my energy was high so I walked to Northerly Island to run hill repeats.
When I arrived at the 12th Street Beach entrance a concert security crew turned me away, so I took the harbor path and ran the full length of the island and ten hill repeats.
On the walk home I felt the usual shoulder and back stiffness.
I stopped at the market to buy a chocolate milk, which I drank while sitting on a bench outside the market. I was reminded of my Chiang Mai days, sitting on the steps of 7-11 drinking chocolate milk after running and exercising at the Pharmacy Gardens.
This morning I stopped at the Wishing Tree and was happy to see an offering from the Pink Angel. Yellow flowers encircled by blue flowers. In the middle of the flower circle are two bananas forming an X and a cluster of cherries.
Placed atop this splendid offering was the pine cone I had offered yesterday.
I offered rice to the Wishing Tree and walked to the track, where I did the exercise circuit in a cool rain.
