Oh no, poor kitten, but you're probably right.

Gorgeous scenery as usual. Glad you were able to stay away from the mountain lion and the heat.

Those are beautiful photos, you live in an amazing area for running!

Where you live is so pretty! My main motivation is getting outside before it gets too hot :)

Ooh, mountain lion reports scare me, too! Those are beautiful pictures, though. Motivating me is the idea that I might be able to start really training again soon (at least I'm hoping that's what I hear after tomorrow's doctor appointment). I run at dawn also, and I love how I feel when I am finished!

Wow! Those are some beautiful pictures! Makes my...

What a joyous sunrise! I'm excited to get past this move and get back into a morning running routine.

Nice! I am also motivated by beautiful views. I try to keep it exciting by changing up the route from time to time as well!

I love your sunrises! They are just beautiful! They would certainly motivate me to run in the morning!

Poor kitten!!!!! I don't think I would like a mountain lion in my backyard or anywhere close to it. EEEEK.

Those photos are gorgeous! That sunrise would certainly get me out of bed in the morning.

Oh noo! Poor kitten :(

I'm definitely not a fan of animals that can attack while out on a run. Mountain lions sound scary. I just have to deal with Angry black birds and people in Chicago.

2012-07-23T12:56:58.122-06:00

Love the photos! They turned out really well. I think if there was a mountain lion near my running route my mile splits would suddenly be a lot faster than they normally are. ;) Glad you were able to get your runs in despite the danger.

Oh and also, I think running a half mile out-and-b...

2012-07-23T12:31:06.012-06:00

Oh and also, I think running a half mile out-and-backs with a mountain lion on the loose would be awesome motivation to be speedy!

You have way more patience than I do. Running the ...

2012-07-23T12:30:02.848-06:00

You have way more patience than I do. Running the same route ten times!? You must have the patience of a saint.

I'm having a really difficult time getting up early to run. I really really want to, but it hasn't happened yet. What's your secret?

Sneaky mountain lions! I think those scare me more...

2012-07-23T12:11:34.561-06:00

Sneaky mountain lions! I think those scare me more than bears for some reason!

Beautiful pics!

2012-07-23T11:35:11.821-06:00

I love how you sneakily put the missing kitten in there! Geez.

Yeah, I think I'd stick close to home no matter how boring the route if there were mountain lions around!

2012-07-23T11:27:44.720-06:00

Make sure you vary your routine- mountain lions learn these things. Not to freak you out any more than you might be already (those critters are my biggest fear ever, even though I live in Indiana). EEK!

But those morning views truly are gorgeous! As is the sunset. Just beautiful.

Beautiful pics of the sunrise and sunset.

2012-07-23T10:41:49.909-06:00

I love the pictures! I think the fact that I can run again keeps me motivated since I was out of the running scene for a few months! Every time I get lazy to run, I have to remind myself of what life was like at the beginning of this year and then out the door I go!

Beautiful photos - that definitely helps to break up the boredom!
