Why Sprint the Last 1/4m When You Can Dance?

Tonight, not only did I feel like getting active after work, but I had some extra energy from some unknown source that gave me the motivation to push myself. As soon as I got home, I put on my running shoes, grabbed my mp3 player, and headed out with my camera hoping to get some pics before it got too dark.

All in all, I covered about 2 miles. For the first 1.75ish miles I mostly jogged, but stopped a few times for a photo op. I was able to keep up a decent pace without overdoing myself. Once I got back to the beginning of our drive way, which is about 1/4m, I was feeling really great and was listening to a good song. So, instead of sprinting, I wanted to enjoy the song so I just danced back. This is another great thing about living in the country. No one but the animals to see me acting silly. I think I would have been too self conscientious to go as all out as I did if I still lived in town. I would have probably had a little boogie in my step though.

I must say, if you want nice legs, dance for the last 1/4 mile. Damn, that will that work your upper legs and glutes. :-)

 Here is my play list, in case you're curious. I got a few pics, too. A few strange pics, but pictures none the less.

the scene in blue at dusk is great, captures a mood in photo. Love the linear quality of the electric pole, good design.
