Almost didn't make it out this morning.  Alarm went off, but I rolled over and pressed snooze.  If I do that enough times, it makes me late enough that a run isn't possible before work.  Luckily it only happened once today, so I was able to set out at just before 6 am.

I'm going to keep a list of wildlife that I encounter along my runs this summer.  Yesterday, a young fox eyeing some tasty morsels (squirrels) along Baby Point Rd.  Today, a large snapping turtle, probably 10" diameter wedged under the fence at Stinky Pond at the south east corner of High Park.  Of course, the inevitable Canada Geese (and their piles of crap) along the Lakeshore near the mouth of the Humber.  And, while walking back to my place after finishing up, a "died beetle" which the girls would have loved to see.
