It's 4am and I'm reading blogs....I don't sleep worth a crap anymore. Hate it!!

I came to a screeching halt yesterday on my trail run with a big old snake planted in front of me. Just was big and nasty....I just don't like them.

Your race pictures are really great, I think. Shows a look of great determination to finish!! :)

We keep stumbling on dead snakes a lot lately too....

We keep stumbling on dead snakes a lot lately too.
It' weird because I haven't seen snakes for years.
I'm not a fan of sharing my run with them.

snakes freak my jazz out!!

I have started drinking chamoille or other tea at night and that has become a ritual that slows me down to get better sleep

i'm so scared of snakes! I'm glad I don't have any near me besides a rare garden one near trails and such.

I am kind of afraid of snakes and they creep me out but I do think they are so interesting and beautiful too. I don't like coming across one slithering across my path though.

So glad that you had a look at your pics with a new perspective.

I almost ran over a snake on a run the other week!...

I almost ran over a snake on a run the other week!! Scared the heck out of me!

I'm ok with snakes around here, but only because they are harmless. I freak out at the thought of poisonous ones!

Also, I used to sleep through the night...and then my husband picked up a snoring habit. :)

Yes, once you have kids, I don't know if there is such a thing as sleeping through the night. Even though my boys have slept through the night since they were babies, I still wake up for every little noise. No rattlesnakes here, but once we hit eastern WA, they appear.

Josh and I saw a lynx on our run the other morning but they aren't too scary. SNAKES are super scary!!! Luckily we are too cold too much of the year to get any big ones. My friend's son got bit by one on vacation last year and had to get life-flighted to a children's hospital and was admitted for several days.

I think you looked great in your pics. I figure we aren't supposed to be smiling and posing when we are racing - we are supposed to look like we are working hard. :)

I often see snakes when I am riding but not when running. I think I like it that way!

EEEEEK Snakes!!! Not a fan!!! Awww the good ole days when we could sleep as much as we wanted!!!

I saw a snake on my run Tuesday - even though I knew it was a garter snake or similar, it still made me jump.

You should feel good about your arms...they rock! I hate you for that...but that's ok ;)

Sleep??? Since when do moms need sleep? hmmm, maybe that's why I am always so tired...

;)

2012-05-17T07:18:41.718-06:00

That always kills me when you are up for hours and then sound asleep when your alarm actually goes off. Sigh.

Yes, your arms look totally ripped in the pictures - that's cuz they are! Nice job on the race.

2012-05-17T07:12:42.720-06:00

Rattlesnakes would not be welcome company on my runs. But then again, I'm sure it's beautiful where you run, so it's a small price to pay, right?

Nothing harder than just falling back to sleep right before the alarm goes off!

Snakes freak me out! I don't think I would want to know how many are in the field by your house :-)

2012-05-17T06:07:38.268-06:00

oh my gosh, snakes freak me out! Can't believe you almost stepped on one...yikes, but at least it was already dead! whew!

I almost stepped on one at the pool at our disney hotel...I started screaming and my boys laughed at me!!! LOL!

2012-05-17T05:51:41.220-06:00

I'm still surprised that I haven't seen more snakes trail running. I wonder how Bungee would react. Then again, she'd probably just be terrified, like she is of everything else in life.
