Longest "long" run I've been on for a long time.  Waited too long to get out, and got caught in the sun.  The temps weren't high, but with the direct sunlight and humidity I got overheated a little and had to take a couple breaks in the shade.  

Wyatt ran with me, and water boy kept us company.  So did 2 snakes.  One large black field snake slithered across the road around mile 5, then around mile 8 Wyatt did a hop, jump, little yelp as she jumped over one on the road.  She was running just behind me, and I'm a little concerned that I didn't see it first, but in my defense, it was small.  We got a photo of him as he was in the grass along the roadside. He's maybe only 12 inches long- a baby.

I'm no herpetologist, but Wyatt said it looked like some variety of rattle/poisonous snakes, and I'm taking her word for it!

*shudder* I hate, I mean HATE snakes!! Wait a couple months and the weather will be nice for a late sun run :)

Congrats on getting it done - ramping up!

I would have been doing the snake dance too. Be careful out there!
