On my boring/easy 2 mile run this morning I saw: an ostrich, some birds, many buffalo, and a rabbit. As I was tabulating all these animals in my head, I was reminded of one of my FAVE Dr. Seuss books. The one where the kid comes up with these outrageous lies of what he sees on Mulberry street. Because honestly, who sees buffalo and ostrich on their run? Me. Some days I see mountain lions, but not today. I almost always hear meerkats cries (at least that's what I think they are, sounds like a louder version of a kitty crying).
Have I mentioned that Taylor's apartment is near the city zoo? :) The bike trail actually goes along the back side of the zoo, and it's quickly becoming my favorite part about running in the morning. Usually the animals are up and moving around because it's cooler before the sun is officially up, so I feel like I get to have my own little sneak peak at the zoo whenever I go for a run.
Other than the animals, it was a boring run. 2 miles in 18:27. No ab pain, so hopefully (fingers crossed) Sunday was just a fluke.
Oh, and we totally spent Monday night after work at the water park again. I'm reminded of the 5-12 year old amphibious version of myself. I lived at the pool back in the day. It's fun to feel like a kid again and to dash home from work to change into my suit. Hah.
I've already checked the weather report, and unfortunately there are t-storms in the forecast for after work, so Day#4 at the water park is probably out of the question. Maybe I'll fill up the tub and do some laps. ;)
