5 Things I've Seen On My Summer Runs



  1. Turtles... I usually don't see snapping turtles, he must have been relocated after Harvey.

  2. Big white birds

  3. On my weekend long run, I get to see the sun coming over the trees!

  4. One route has is a koi pond

  5. The coldest water fountains in the summer... seriously the water is ice cold!What unique running routes do you have?  Do you see a lot of wildlife on your runs?

  2. Not much wildlife in the city limits...though I have spotted a few 'coons on occasion (in the early, pre-sunrise hours).

  3. Some of the drinking fountains on my runs do not have very cold water. It's so weird!

    Even though I live in a very populous area, I see a lot of wildlife on my runs.

  4. I do not have unique running routes. I pick a route depending on the run. I run by my house, on the trail, or along the lakefront. The best route I have run in is Alaska. Beautiful there.

  5. Ooooh a cold water fountain is SO excellent! I wish I had any water fountain but nada here. We've got amazing wildlife here but I hate when turtles go in the street!

  9. I see so many people stop their cars and get out to pick up a turtle and set them away from the road.

  10. I don't usually see lots of wildlife in my races and I believe that you're lucky to enjoy the nature, Vicki!
