1:02:29. Easy run, again. My legs are still a little sore, but we have an appointment to see John-of-the-ART next week so hopefully I can torment them a little more until then. I saw the Diamondback again today, he/she was in a slightly different spot, but very close to where he/she was on Wednesday -- and he/she looked a little more alert today. I am afraid for it, I don't think it is going to survive - there must be something wrong with it, because it was 27F this morning, likely colder overnight, and all "healthy" snakes must be hybernating by now... sad. Today, I met a two new horses, and got a name for a horse that I have been giving treats to! The one I have been giving carrots to Dover, he is a draft horse (big body - he weights 1400bls!). Then I met Thunder (a quarter horse) and Nutmeg (a painted pinto) -- yes, I learned all of this when I stopped by and the owner was there. Actually, I learned a lot more, I just didn't want to write it all down ;-). When you come and visit me I will show you where these horses live and tell you all about them ;-). What I will say is that Nutmeg is pretty awesome, and he had a winter coat that was very soft and cuddly, he also sort of acted like a dog ... it was interesting. I really like my neighborhood, on my way home I ran by a couple of "cowboys" (seriously) who had stopped on the side of the road to talk -- one was carrying a load of fresh hay (for his horses probably). It reminded me of a couple of months ago when I ran into this couple - they were each riding a horse and they were walking another. It was pretty funny looking, so I said something about 'walking your horse' ... this couple was 65 if they were a day ... they explained that they had to exercise them every day (and rotate who they rode) because they were actually working horses. Apparently, this couple were working "cowboys" who spent ~ 1/2 the year actually rounding cattle in Montana! cool huh? I thought so.
Anyway -- I have a couple meetings and then am off to find my lost friends from the South (they aren't really lost ;-)).
Have a wonderful weekend bloggers! For your reading pleasure - and because it has to do with running - here is an awesome interview with Kara Goucher ... Also, if you haven't seen them yet, a series with Greg McMillan's athletes (the scroll at the bottom shows more videos) ... enjoy.
