Daily Running Log
39 minutes~3.9 miles
Location Change to Lamar, Big Tree and Beyond
3:42pm-4:21pm
68ish degrees
Well, having a wonderful boss helps out when you sleep late and can't squeeze your morning run in before work. Hence the afternoon run. I left work early and decided to try out a new route. The Lamar/Goose Island area is beautiful, and today the water was particularly sparkly. It was absolutely wonderful NOT to huff vehicle exhaust along my route---this is unfortunately unavoidable while running on the sidewalks through Rockport. The only potential problems with running the new route: I was completely unfamiliar with the area, I didn't have my IPOD gps, and I was on a time crunch. Since I underestimated the distance back to my car, I ended up running 10 minutes over my initial goal. Luckily, I made it back in plenty of time for my work meeting. Oh, and though the pictures don't reflect it, I was pretty disturbed by the high number of roosting vultures/buzzards at one of the intersections. I counted around 10! So, while the wildlife is prolific, the deadlife is apparently, equally prevalent. Quite the Hitchcock-ian experience.
