A long run in which I encountered two things...
(that I found remotely interesting enough to share).
1. On Sunday, I found myself run run running along thinking "hey, why am I running on the right side of the road in the bike lane??" Oh yeah, I thought I was a freaking cyclist! Wrong sport, sass. Cross the street and hop onto the sidewalk!
2. I decided to do 90 min (approx 10+ miles) with hills smack in the middle to give me some hard stuff after I was already a bit fatigued. Well, on my way to the top of a long gradual hill, I encountered a deer. It stopped and stared. I kept running up the incline thinking "ok, deer...move on. Shoo shoo!" The deer didn't run along and in fact started running toward me. So, I did an immediate U turn and went on my merry way taking the long route to the bottom of the hill to get the rest of my incline work in. (I checked over my shoulder to make sure the thing wasn't running after me.)
Just a reminder that we have to be somewhat aware when you're taking it to the streets (and the trail for that matter). Keep your eyes and ears open and pay attention!

great run by the way :)
Now-a-days animals just aren't as scared of people as they used to be. It's not a good thing!
