1:05:31. Ran up the mountain ... it was so beautiful, cool, cloudy, sprinkling. Then, when I got to the top I heard a coyote howl (it was about 3-4 miles in the middle of a mountain range with a few valleys), he/she was pretty close. I stood really still and within a minute there were at least 20 lone "responses" -- from up on higher mountains and lower in the valley, from all directions, the sound just reverberated ... so cool!! I see or hear coyotes pretty much every day, but usually I hear a pack of them "yipping", this was one of the few times I actually heard them howling the way you would expect to hear them - and then to hear so many answer back ... it was just really something. As if running weren't already an obsession in our house there is a new Android app: track geek (they have it for the iPhone too, but it is not free). Now I have track and field news 24 hours/day on my phone ... it is pretty darn cool too. I hope you are all having a wonderful week!
