15 miles out and back on the BST north. With the warm weather setting in, may be the last run out there until the fall/winter trail runner gathering that always seems to take place along that section of trail.
Pretty much alone through the whole run, not even any bikes now that the easier trails are clear.
Stange encounters continue however. Came around a corner on the way back and found myself staring at the wrong end of a big black assault rifle. I was no more than 100 ft from the barrel of a gun pointed pretty much right at me! Idiot was target shooting into the hillside right below the trail! Guy had it on his shoulder, looking down the site, ready to pull the trigger. I dont even think he saw me until I started yelling Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Most likely wouldn't have hit me if he shot, but having a large caliber gun go off in my direction and at a target 30ft below where I was standing wasn't what I wanted to be a part of my morning run! He dropped the gun down to his hip and kinda chuckled a sorry....and asked if there was anyone else up there?! When I said no, he waited for to run by and proceeded to unload 15-20 rounds!
15 miles, 2300 vert or so, felt really sluggish toward the end.....damn allergies! |
