Total Distance

5.08

Morning run with Venus and the stars. Got out a little late, so I had a glimpse of some daylight trying to crawl out from the treeline. Beautiful.

I thought it was going to be warmer than I'd planned for and there were a few chilly wind gusts that made me wish I'd put some sleeves or gloves on. It was encouragement for me to keep the pace up so I could stay warm!

Progressive run. Started super slow, but cut 90 seconds off my pace from mile one to mile 5.

Saw the reflection from a pair of eyes in the soybean field as I ran by. They followed me as I ran past them. Neat-o...my first chupacabra sighting of the season!! I was reading about coyotes before I went to bed last night, and I think I'd rather take my chances with a chupacabra!

Does a chupacabra have a white stripe on its back, 'cause those are scary.

You must be referring to the chupakabra cousins that frequent the JRP. This variety has no stripes, but does sport a long rodent type tail.

OMG!!! IT IS a jungle out in your neck of the soybean fields! I am glad you had a safe and starry (not scary) run!!! :) NICE JOB progressively faster!!! :)

Chupacura sounds cuter and nicer than a coyote.

Not sure I even know what a chupakabra is but I'm guessing they aren't as love able as possums :)

Enjoy the last bit of cool fall weather before it gets cold. Yikes!
