So so so happy about the weather today. Cloud-cover, and thunderstorms all night kept this run under 90F for most of the run! a little humid (for us), but man, how much difference 5-10F can make, boy-howdy. I hit 1:16 to my drinking fountain (usually hit it 1:22 or so) - so I added on more trail miles before heading up the long hills home. Felt really good for most of the run. I did see 3 dead baby rattlesnakes (run over by cars) - which was sad - which made me happy about my decision not to run trails with a group of trail runners (I had been invited this past week by friend Merry). The baby rattlers are particularly dangerous because they don't know how to control their venom (and can inject a very large quantity) - and, they don't have developed rattles, so you can't hear them when they are around. My usual rule is, "snakes get the trails during the summer, I get them in the winter" -- it has worked well for me so far :)
Happy Sunday, bloggers!!
