It turned out to be a great morning. Upon leaving the house a small group of about 5 or 6 Rosella's flew passed, full of colour, full of life. I don't know what kind they were exactly but I think its fair to say I like all kinds of Rosella's. Their colours bright and beautiful and I love the happy little sounds they make as they fly by. Whenever I see one I am reminded of the Rosella's my family had when I was a kid, George and Bella.
It took me a little while to get started. I actually hadn't really done any exercising in a week. I started with a walk before I would break out into a jog and then eventually a run. This would continue as I went on my journey, as I would get tired I would slow down for a bit before running again, until the end when I just push myself a little bit further. I found it a little more difficult this morning at the start. It was a bit cool, colder then it has been when I've exercised and it was affecting my breathing a little at first but I got better as I trekked on.
It seemed all the birds were out this morning as the Rosella's weren't the only birds I saw flying around. I saw a Crow and Magpies as you might expect which are pretty common but I also got to see Gallah's flying and also two Cockatoo's on the front of someones lawn eating. It was nice to see such life out and about while I was running, something that you could never get if all you do is go to a gym and run on a treadmill.
As I went longer and further I found myself waking up more, getting more energy and getting faster to the beat of the songs my iPod would blast through it's headphones. And while I may have been slightly reluctant to get out of bed I'm glad that I did because even though before I actually leave the house, if I'm feeling tired or not bothered, I just have to have the will power to get up and go because I have never once regretted going for a run. And if I had of rolled over and gone back to sleep I would of missed seeing all those birds, and that would of been a shame.
