Ran with Amber today, which was way fun! We went onto a trail that hops into birch. Continued up Birch. At 2 miles, neither of our watches were working, but we kept going. We turned around at one of the crossings which was actually just short of 4 miles up. Came back down the canyon back to my house. On our way down (we had sped up) there was a black and yellow spotted snake across the dirt road. It was about 3 feet long. Without much thought, we kept running. It was on my side of the road, so I jumped over it. As I jumped, it coiled up. Lol, I screamed, and we both hauled down the canyon. It was pretty great. Glad we didn't get bit. It was way fun talking to Amber and just going for a chill trail run. Our pace was definitely over 10 minute miles, but it was all on trails.
I was hoping to run more, but my family went boating. As soon as we got home, I had to leave for work, so this week's mileage wasn't where I wanted it to be.
