No, it's not a movie sequel but a running hazard this time of year. Last Saturday, Jim, Vince, and I came across snakes in the middle of our path on two separate occasions during the course of a 15.5 mile run. The second time it happened to be 2 snakes who appeared to be mating. I felt like I was in the middle of a Discovery Channel show and of course we had to stop, watch, and take a photo with my cell phone. The men thought they were probably bull snakes. I suppose it'll be Tick Week for our run next Saturday.
We seemed to do a lot of stopping and going on that particular run and I really had to crack the whip on those guys as the temperature was quickly rising. By the time we finished it was a blazing 80 degrees and we were sure hot, tired, and dusty from the trail running. But that didn't stop us from going into City Brew at the end of the run for cold drinks and treats.
