Spawning Season

"I'll love you, dear, I'll love you till China and Africa meet and the river jumps over the mountain and the salmon sing in the street." - W. H. Auden

It's spawning season.  What a great time to be a runner.

Imagine running along the Niagara River when suddenly you hear a splash.  You glance over and see a giant salmon leaping into the air and coming back down into the water with the kind of drama and flair that only a spawning salmon can pull off.


This is what running is all about.  Being outside with nature in all of its wondrous energy.

Today while my feet are hitting the road, I won't be looking for miles, I'll be looking for spawners .

(If anyone has a photo of a spawning fish they would be willing to donate to this article, I sure would appreciate it.)
