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.
