Things I see when I run

Topic: Life| 1 Comment »

My most used running loop is five miles from my door, around a few trails and back.  It’s a good loop all the way around with the exception of this one area near Ehrbacher canyon.  At least 2/3 of the time I run through here I see bear prints in the dirt.  Since I usually run in the morning, the tracks are nice and crisp on the edges which is just super.

Seeing one of those is not nearly as reassuring as you might think.  It’s actually not very cool at all.  Though, either way its better than seeing one of these snake dens.  Please note I didn’t take either of these, my heart would not have stood long against such fear as this inspires.
