Total Distance

18.35

PM - 18 on Quail Creek run. Started out with a new hydration pack that has a fancy little mister on it. I thought this would be a great idea (even with it being so hot out at 7:30). But it did cool off a bit when a small storm blew in. Problem with that was, it blew against me for the last 7 miles. Ran the route backwards for a little change. Liked it, but not better than the normal direction. First rattlesnake of the new year. I about stepped on him on the short dirt section of the road up on top past the industrial park. Truthfully about gave me a heart-attack. I was just totally zoned out and thinking about cross-country and getting recruits and then I stepped about 1 inch away from him and realizing that it was a snake, I high/quick stepped out and just about died. Run went well with ave. between 7 and 7:30 (depending on terrain) for the first 14, but then I had a real struggle for the last four. Didn't enjoy that much. (Glycerin 387.75)

Thanks, Dave there is a reason why you are a coach. I would love to have a position like yours. As far as the snake goes, it keeps things interesting. I used to run into coyotes occasionally in Oregon and Washington when I lived there.

My biggest fear running here in St. George is the snake! I guess it shouldn't concern me so much, but I'm just not a fan. Only a few more days left. What are your plans for the summer?

AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! A rattlesnake! Double yikes. Be careful out there. You get the wildlife award today.

Snakes are bad. I saw a fat coyote about a mile above my house last Friday. He thought about eating me but passed and said that he was looking for Wild Bull, says the bull owes him some cash.
