15 miles in the Rio. Very warm and humid out, BUT I was blessed with a breezy wind. Yes, this was that wind that I have complained about during some of my earlier runs, not today. 8 miles alone on the sleeping base. I saw snake #1 as I headed out from the West gate, it made me about cry. I HATE snakes. I saw snake #2 as I headed toward the West gate the second time. I screamed and ran away as fast as I could. Both snakes were very long (3 feet), and they were black. I found 5 golf balls on my way home as I ran past the golf course and picked up three to add to David and I's golf ball collection. We have now found 10 golf balls total for our collection. I went back to the house and got David. We ran the next 7 miles together. We saw snake #3 by the poop pound. :( I was proud that I had actually picked up the pace and I didn't complain. I enjoyed listening to David talk about T-38s (the new jet he will be flying). 8:32 AP |
