Wow!!! Decided to hit Wheelers after work, so I headed up there around 5:30 it was a good tough climb for me today. Work took us to Iggys for lunch so, a Fish-n-Chips and a few drinks later I was thinking why didn't I get a salad.

On the way down the main trail I had a prompting to run down the middle of the trail because something was lurking on the trail ahead. I thought ok. I've tried to follow those promptings when they come... and good thing about a mile down the trail there was a monster rattlesnake on the right side of the trail! It made me jump about 15 ft in the air! It was shaking it's rattle like crazy. Who knows what would've happed, but I'm greatful for the prompting!

yikes, i am glad I wasn't with you on that run, I freakin hate snakes especially the Rattlers! Those fishnchips sound good right now i am starving!

I'm in the hating snakes boat as well. Hopefully you've had your close encounter and now you're done with snakes on your run. And those fish'n'chips do sound good.
