Great jov getting your miles in in the rain. Now you know no matter what you can get the half done, rain or shine!!

And you are so right about our "Stormwatch" media coverage when it gets wet. Then again, anywhere else in the country, cars don't slide on oil-slicked freeways and houses and trees don't fall down hillsides when it rains. So, sometimes the warnings are warranted.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-1140407004625625562006-02-19T19:43:00.000-08:002006-02-19T19:43:00.000-08:00It would have been neat to see the coyote walk by....It would have been neat to see the coyote walk by. I was running some trails in the mountains with three friends and we heard a thunderous noise and we all stopped dead in our tracks as we were sure there was a bear, or something coming after us. Two monsterous elk came charging down the hillside about 50 yards in front of us. It was pretty cool to see. Something you do not see when you are running on the roads all the time.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.com
