Animal Attack

On Tuesday, Matt and I went to go for a run and a stray cat came up and started being super friendly, so I pet it, naturally. However this cat not only followed us, but walked purposefully in front of us so we had to pet her and when we did, it laid on our feet. Ha! Silly cat. As far as the run went, it was a very solid run. We had a couple of things to get from Broulim's so we ran there, picked them up and ran back home, probably about a mile run. 

This morning we actually were able to get up before work and classes and went for a nice run on the green way. When we first started running, about 10-20 feet away was a big ol' beaver! It had light tanish/yellow fur and a big tail coming off the end of it. I couldn't believe that after living 16 years in Oregon, the beaver state, I never saw one, not until I was in Idaho. We were so surprised and excited! How often is it that you see a beaver? For both of us, it was a first. We also saw two HUGE pelicans with a baby one sitting in the middle of the river on a grassy patch. They must have been at least 3-4 feet tall, I mean these things were big. 

Aside from the fun animal sightings, our run this morning was good. I have a bit of a head cold coming on so I didn't go run with Matt yesterday (I'm so proud of him for running even without me) and we did a shorter run this morning. My whole body felt heavy and with every step I could feel my whole body shake which pounded my head, but gosh darn it, I did it! You know, something I realized is that if someone is running at least a mile a day they cannot physically be fat. It is just impossible. I gotta remind myself that fact when I have those moments of self doubt. I am awesome, skinny, and cute dang it! Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.
