AMP Miles today. It seemed very hot and steamy today and I never really felt comfortable. Ran up on a huge bull that apparently had gotten out of someone's pasture. It was sitting about 3 feet off the road also the cyotetes are getting very brave on lonley road. It seemed they were only about a hundread yards away and howling like crazy. It's a little spooky at 5:30 and pretty much pitch black :-(

Nebuchadnezzar went near the opening of the furnace of flaming fire and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire.

It is spooky sometimes on those back roads in the dark. Never saw a bull (on the wrong side of the fence) though.

From JG on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 12:51:08 from 71.57.246.108

I think I would have turned around & run the other way! Alex saw about a 6' snake on the trail today. Nice run!

From Dave S on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 19:46:44 from 4.253.96.40

I'm always running into a lot of critters on my runs but none as big and intimidating as a bull on the road! I did run into a bear though while running on a trail in Yosemite last year and one in Pennsylvania on a bike.

Your 3rd mile was the fastest. Just wondered if that was when you saw the bull or the coyotes?

From I Just Run on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 20:19:40 from 166.205.14.210

Ha ha..It was . the coyotes that scared me.

From flatlander on Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 18:05:14 from 76.31.26.153

Wow, some adventure. I don't like running in lonely places at night, I stick to my neighborhood.

From I Just Run on Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 18:37:53 from 166.205.12.46

Ha ha Flat, this is my neighbourhood!

From Steam8 on Sun, Jul 24, 2011 at 18:53:45 from 166.70.55.77

That is toooo spooky! I don't know what would be worse going later and braving the heat or braving the bull and coyotes! yikes!

From Dan on Sun, Jul 24, 2011 at 23:34:29 from 24.209.83.20

Good run, I like that kind of adventure! Hey it's Sunday night now, you didn't mess with any coyotes did you??

From I Just Run on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 09:55:38 from 67.79.11.242

Hey Steam & Dan,

No adventures for the past couple of days. I have been sidlined by my hip and back. I've didn't run Sat. Sun. or today.

From Steam8 on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 11:02:24 from 166.70.55.77

I was wondering why you didn't run over the weekend or didn't post anything! What is going on with your hip and back???

Hey....why am I not on your favorite blog list????? You better put me on today while your back is recovering! :)

From I Just Run on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 12:20:06 from 67.79.11.242

Ha ha Steam ... Pushy ... Cool ... You're In ...!!!

From JG on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 12:41:51 from 71.57.246.108

I wish I was cool like IJR! :-)
