After a week of deep water running and a bike ride, I deemed myself recovered from the marathon and headed out for a trail run this morning. I wore my new Sportiva trail shoes I picked up while up in Utah at the marathon. They have a rock plate in them, unlike my other trail shoes, and it really helped keep my feet from feeling all bruised up by the end of the run like they normally do.
A few miles into my run this morning I saw a big snake laying in the trail. I stopped and kicked rocks at it to see if it would move. It just layed there, so I ran around it. I don't think it was a rattle snake. I ended up running 5 miles. It was a good run for my first run after the marathon.
