A dead woodchuck that's gotten progressively more bloated throughout the week. Dead

I've been seeing the same squished ketchup packet since last summer. The ketchup looks like bright red rubber. Makes me seriously question what I'm putting in my body.

About a 3 foot long black snake. Think he was coming up by the sidewalk to sun himself. He scared the heck out of me. I kept running and he went scurrying into the grass. I guess I scared him too.

Current Goals: Run and stuff

Had some nice views of the Divide from this week's long run. Longs Peak and the Continental Divide from Lumpy Ridge. Rocky Mountain National Park, CO

That is beautiful - it looks a LOT like the picture on my wallpaper that I took in Boulder from the Flatirons when I was out in October for the Colorado/Texas game (no comments on that game, please).

I saw a Star Wars storm trooper action figure. Atleast I think it was a storm trooper. When you see a storm trooper laying face down in the ditch you don't exactly want to stop and wait around, if you know what I mean. Was that very funny? It seemed kind of humorous when I was thinking about it during my run.

Similar view... just from the other side of Longs... looking southeast instead of northwest. You must have climbed Green Mountain or Bear Peak? It's really fun to rock climb in the Flatirons during a CU game... you can hear the crowd and band below you...

I ran a long race, I was wearing a red singlet. The whole day I kept hearing and sometimes seeing hummingbirds. I'm guessing they saw the red color and had to investigate. Then they decided "Nope, not food!" and buzzed off in a huff.
