I planned on doing 1 x 1600 and 8 x 400 on the track, but 800 meters into my workout a man came and told me I had to leave because they were locking the gates of the track.  I got reallllly frustrated but found a neighborhood nearby and did another 800 (estimated) and then did 8 x 85 second intervals. All in all it turned out pretty well.

I saw a goose with a broken leg at the park where I warmed up, so I plan on calling animal control tomorrow to help the poor guy out :(

The park where we run is filled with chicken, roosters, geese, deformed ducks, you name it! There's always something to entertain us. Today Ryan kicked a big frog by accident when it jumped on her foot. The other day we saw a turtle laying it's eggs in a hole then bury them and walk away, then saw a racoon family living in the gutter. Very entertaining!

Haha the deformed ducks made me laugh. That's awesome that you get to see all of that on the run! As an animal lover I am so jealous. Especially the turtle eggs, I bet that was awesome.
