{52 Snapshots of Life} Week 12: Green

While the weather is nicer and Spring is in the air (It is now officially Spring), it is not green yet. It probably won't be for awhile. St. Patrick's Day was this week, but Henri isn't Irish and he likes getting pinched so he did not wear green. So, where can we find some green for this week's theme?

When we are running in the neighborhood, I have a marker for when I start to sprint to the end and a marker for the end. These "markers" are green! I think they're for cable or something. There are a lot more than two of them along our route, but these two mean something to us, and I say "us" because Henri knows them, too. He loves when we hit the point where we start the sprint!  A sprint for me is a nice little jog for him. He knows when we're getting close. He starts to look back at me and jumps a little, trying to get me there faster. I do what I can, but I just cannot maintain that speed for long. It helps to have a visual starting and stopping point. They're a little bit of "Green" motivation.

  2. That must have been the filter I used! I was actually looking down as we were going, holding my phone in my hand and noticing just how much blue I had. My shirt, shoes, socks, FitBit, phone and Henri's leash were all blue. I just didn't take a picture of it because, well, that's every day for me, and this week's theme was "green". It didn't seem appropriate :)

  3. I used to run in our neighborhood, we have those same green cable boxes, and they are handy for marking sprint, walk, jog, or "hey I made it the first mile" :) So nice that you have a running partner!
