This animal sighting on my run yesterday is so fitting as the holidays approach.  Literally, I looked in the field, and there it was just running as fast as it could.

Runner and fox

I’m not sure whether to classify this as gutsy, amazing, or simply bizarre.  Though this story has received a lot of press, I’m going to post it anyway.  I most certainly am glad she is okay and receiving appropriate treatment.  However, this is one reason why I carry Direct stop with me on every run.

Animal sightings for the week

I’ve seen a lot of deer lately on my runs.  Yesterday’s run was very cool, because I saw a line of four deer, crossing the road.  It was so beautiful to watch.  I also saw a fawn in the middle of the day last week which was really unusual.  I think it was “lost.” 
Raccoons have also [...]

Animal Sightings for the week

I mentioned in my 20 miler post that I saw some interesting animals this week.  On that run, I went a slightly different route than usual.  I had actually been out that way before but had not been for awhile.  I passed this one  farm which I believe has exotic animals.  I’m not sure if [...]

Animal sightings for last week

Not too much to mention here.  I saw three deer.  One happened to be a young buck, so that was kind of neat.  Besides regular roadkill, I saw a dead doggie in the road.  That always makes me sad.   It was a beagle mix whom I might have seen a few times.  I [...]

The animal not-so sighting of the week

I say “not-so sighting,” because I did not see this until it was too late and after the fact.  Yesterday, I was outside in the evening.  The temperature was 90 and very humid.  I noticed a few branches and weeds I wanted to trim, so I did that for about ten minutes.  All the sudden, [...]

Animal sightings for the week

I ran in a few different places this week instead of all my usual country routes where I see deer bounding by or rabbits scurrying off.  One of the places I ran is part of an agricultural research farm belonging to one of the local universities.  I’ve run there before but it had been awhile.  [...]

Animal sightings for the week

Not too many this week. I didn’t do an early morning runs and only one evening run. The rest were during the day. I saw several deer which isn’t unusual. However, (and yes, I’m breaking my rule about posting about dead animals) I did see a dead raccoon at the side [...]
