We (DW and I) saw a bunch of frogs as well on our run Saturday morning (pic of which is in my profile), which is unusual where we are. DW actually commented on it while we were running. She's not fond of amphibians, reptiles, or arachnids.

I didn't actually see this, but yesterday during my run I hit this one stretch (included in the loop I did 6 times)of about 100 yards that smelled horrible, like eggs and trash mixed. It was nasty! I was happy that I didn't see the source of that!

Bummer, I didn't see anything good besides my ex-dh drove past me and pulled over so I tossed him my water bottle and asked him to refill it for me. He did! Sometimes he's not a complete A-hole. LOL

Okay, I never see anything fun on long runs but today I finally did! I was out enjoying 22 miles in a lovely downpour and one of these crossed the road in front of me:

It is a Fisher Cat. Really interesting looking. I have heard them before at night because they make these horrible screaming sound but this is the first I have seen! Couldn't wait to get home and figure out what it was!

Found a minimag flashlight - still worked, batteries were good. Found a pair of casual shoes, black. A PAIR on the side of the road. Usually it's just one shoe.

A really large black snake in my path, and a Department of Homeland Security hat. I kept the hat.

Gold and orange aspens - fall colors are about at their peak here in the Colorado high country!

Rain, geese, ducks and more rain. Four hours of rain. Dead

At least there was some variety, it ranged from light rain to downpours.

Rain and puddles, but only for 2 hours.

Not at it at all.

I saw 9 Turkeys crossing the road... and pouring rain. Also, some turd threw a water bottle at me.

I saw a train go by...for more than 3 minutes! I also saw a one-car accident. Actually I didn't see the accident but I helped pick up. Some guy drove his truck off the side of the road clobbering a whole bunch of mailboxes in the process. The mailboxes were in the road and I helped the guy (who was fine) move the debris from the road. He said he swerved to avoid a deer but I think he may have been drunk -- I'm not sure. I suspected that he wasn't going to tell the neighbors that he killed their mailboxes I memorized his plate number and stopped by one of the houses with my name, number, and his plate number after I finished my run. I was annoyed having to wait for the train but had I not waited for the train that guy might have struck me.
