Just a bit over 2 hours on the trails tonight. Cold, but not bad until the sun went down, not a soul out at all, well, except one of the go fastie kids. Turns out the out-n-back I've been running is just under 14 miles, a mile longer than I thought, love it when that happens. Easy pace, felt alright, legs feeling a little heavy, guess the miles and time are adding up over the last 4 weeks. 1.5 weeks to an easy week. heel/calf feeling 85%, I'll take it.

Pretty obvious cat tracks in the new snow on and around the trail south of 12th street. Been hearing about, and seeing alot evidence of those big kitties in that area latley. Tracks toninght left me kinda feeling tense through the run, got over it by the end, wuss!

Check out this cool pic taken a couple of years ago right above the BST on the North side, that's a big ktty cat.

Well be careful out there, but most of all have fun!

I know I sound like a broken record with this, and I'm sure I'll be terrified when it actually happens, but I really look forward to the day when I see a mountain lion while out running. I would very much consider it a privilege. They are beautiful animals. They aren't much of a threat in this state since they still have plenty of food available. Would still be scary/exciting though.

I kept my eye out for him today... Glad I didn't spot him!

Ya, no worries really, but it is a little freaky sometimes knowing they are there, probably watching you. Jun, I gotta be honest, it might be a pretty cool thing to see, but, for me, I would be just fine with those cats watching me and me not watching them. Really would prefer not to see one, at least not up close, that would be a pant crapper.
