A Glimmer of Hope?

Last night I introduced a hill into my (at present) meager mileage. And I still managed to run at a pace faster than I have the previous few weeks. Maybe…. Just maybe…

The other item of note was Babe was out last night. Dang! Too bad I didn’t have my camera. Who is Babe?

BOBCAT21

She is our resident Bobcat. Yes. She lives in Newport Beach. She knows how to live in style.

Today I’ll be out for a quick 2 mile recovery run. I may have to move my Thursday training run to Friday, but the mileage will get done.

  1. When I used to live down there, I went out for a run and turned right back around when I saw a coyote for the first time in person.

    As for doing that Billy Goat race, I'd have to see how many first trail foray turns out. I needed a practice round first before trail-ing in public.

  2. Good grief, you know how I feel about running into animals. I've been using the treadmill a lot lately. Not sure why. The knats are starting to show up again on the Back Bay trail. Yuck!

  5. I think a bobcat beats the deer and fox I see on my runs! Very cool (I think?).

    The speed will come, just you wait!

  8. Yikes! Seeing that during a run would force me to start sprinting.

  9. Oh my, I think I'd run faster than expected if I ran into Babe too. Beautiful creature. Glad you may be getting your mojo back, Glenn.

  14. We have some issues with mountain lions, so I never hike alone. Hope that 2 mile recovery turned out good. Hope all is well.

  16. That is so cool. Everybody in my family except me has seen a bobcat in the wild. I am jealous you have a resident bobcat! :)

    Continued good luck with your training. I would definitely say there is more than a glimmer of hope. Much success to you!
