Birmingham, Alabama. Red Mountain State Park. SWEET hilly trails. Tough run, and I needed it.
Why? This travel is wearing on me and yesterdays run was cut short. So last night I was in Savannah, Tennessee. Wanted to run 8, but only got 4. I was in town and decided to run these trails by the river. Pretty area and good potential for wildlife. So I hit the trails and 2 baby deer right off the bat. Nice. Then 2 giant spider webs, not nice. As I go in I am about 2 miles in and I see a coyote roughly 15 feet in front of me. No worries in Ohio they are skittish and run away. Well here he ran for a moment. Then came back with a friend. Then preceded to hold his ground. Well they looked at me and saw my hairy legs and arms and figured it was fur. I think they thought I was some stray cat and a meal. So yes, I took off the other way pretty quickly.... short run.
Today was much better. Hot yes, 85, humid, but the mountain run was great. Good hill run. Look forward to tomorrow.
