cuando los lagartos corren

on Tuesday, my trainer told me I could work out on Friday...

on Thursday on my way home from work, I saw the dirt bike police on my regular trail.

that made me anxious, 

so I decided to hike Rancho instead...

just my luck, there were signs posted all over 

that recently there was

a mountain lion encounter.

not a sighting,

an encounter!

YIKES!!!

to be honest, I was surprised at the postings.

I've often seen parts of deer on the trail which means 

some big predator was there!

maybe a deer "encountering" a mountain lion isn't as important

as a human 'encountering" one...

hard to decide which is more scary,

two legged predators vs 4 legged predators?!

my favorite loop was blocked off, so I headed up the hill.

anxiously listening for every noise and thinking all the while 

what is a mountain lion's range???

just because they block off one trail, 

doesn't mean that the lion won't go to the other trails,

not like he reads the signs!!!

I was debating the intelligence of being on the trail

ALONE

with the mountain lions!

got startled twice by this:

Momma was right.on.the.trail!!!

so cool!

(she's far away here 'cause she ran up the trail when I got my phone out...)

as I was doing my second loop (I was supposed to walk for 2 hours!!!)

I kept seeing baby lizards running this way and that!!! 

there were a lot of flies, can you see two on my sweaty face?

ickness!!!!

it was about 90 degrees, but it was beautiful.  

I got nothing else going on this weekend except a Starbucks run,

another workout,

some Dr. Who & 

maybe some ART!!! 

 yay!!!

happy Friday!!!  : .)
