I took a different route on my blacktop today. For some reason, I've never ran the opposite way. I think the biggest reason is there are residences that way and I'm not sure about dogs. But today was the day to find out. Only saw one dog at a cattle/trucking place. Dog didn't care one bit that I was running by. Hardly raised his head to acknowledge me. That makes me happy.
I came across a skunk on my trek. I didn't ever see it but I could smell it. I just told it to stay where it was and I would stay where I was. No issues there. Almost back to the truck, I encountered another critter. A SNAKE! Luckily, it was just a lil green grass snake, about 2 foot long. It slithered so quickly across the road in front of me that I couldn't even get a picture.
But all in all, a run can't be that bad if it ends like this...
Today's run: 25 min
Pace: 10:31
What an awesome way to end a run. I love first morning runs watching the sun rise.
ReplyDeleteWhew, glad the husband wasn't with you when you saw the snake! He'd a left ya in his dust! Good for you for getting out there and runnin anyway! I had another bad eatin' day today..seems like that's all I have anymore...sigh. I think I've got a heavy duty hormonal imbalance and am going to make a doc appt. next week to try and get it figured out. Anywho, good for you girl! :)
ReplyDeleteAww sorry you were feeling yucky yesterday! I'm glad you found the strength to get out to run tonight!!
