Great run on a hot day.

I'm coming off an awesome 6.5 mile run in Palmer Park over the weekend (I used to be able to run consecutive days ... oh, well, at least I'm still out there.) Lunch time, no water, High noon! A HOT 4.25 miler on the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail (I started from the Boulder Street steps) and no SNAKES ON THE TRAIL encounters to report, either. How 'bout that? With this incredible weather, hope you got out, too.

Friday on my mind. Snake on the trail.

Got in a 5-miler last Friday. The usual, started from the Boulder St. steps on the Pikes Peak Greenway trail. I run out 2.5 miles and turnaround. Sure enough, on the return trip, just about to go under the Unitah Street bridge ... I glance over to my left ... SNAKE ON THE TRAIL. Why do snakes cross the trail? To get to the other ssssssssside I guess. This one was no doubt heading for Monument creek. Still a great, great run. Hope you got out, too.

Cinco De Mayo - Snake-Oh! De Mayo

A beautful Cinco De Mayo and I take off on a lunchtime 5-mile run. I start at America the Beautiful Park just off of Colorado Ave., just west of downtown Colorado Springs. I cross the pedistrian bridge from the park and make my way north from mile marker 30 to the turn around at Fonternero (Mile Marker 32.5) on the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail. The trail actually crosses over Monument Creek (a concrete bridge) just below Bijou Street. I'm on the way back and just about to the finish line at mile marker 30 (5 miles round trip) and there, about 6-feet in front of me ... SNAKE ON THE TRAIL! He slithers across heading back to the creek. Glad I saw him when I did! Still it was a great run! Hope you got out, too.
