Cowabunga!

Well, I wasn't going to post anything today, because this is a trail I've run many times, but Neko and I came across EIGHT groups of cows in a 6 mile run!!


If you look closely, you can see the first group on the side of the trail. The second is hidden behind the hill.


Group Number 3 at the top of the ridge.








Group Number 4... by this time, I was starting to lose "cow"nt...









Group Number 5- we were starting to "cow"er in fear...








Group Number 6- at least these cows weren't sCOWling at us.







Group Number 7-- you should have seen my "cow"ntenance!








Group Number 8- I think this is really too many to "cow"ntemplate...







I have a piece of advice for you though, if you're ever on the trail and en"cow"nter some of my bovine friends.....

"You just COWl out my name, and you know, wherever I am, I'll come running...." (my deepest apologies to James Taylor)

Whoo. That's only one beer into the 4th. Time to clean up the yard for some 'cuing!

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Luciano, I did like the pictures-- I think working dogs are amazing.

Tom--yeah, I asked for that...

do you bring your camera with you on runs?

Victoria said...

Of course I bring my camera-- how else would I get so many pictures of my runs?

Kevin said...

Ooops. I figured you brought your own camera (unless you travel with an entourage). Guess what I meant was, where do you keep your camera. is it a camera phone. is it tiny. I've missed some opportunities to take some good pics during runs because I dont have a camera.
(And again, sorry for the stupidest question I have ever asked.)

Hee hee... imagine running with an entourage. Yeah, no paparazzi for me. Although I'd probably let any paparazzi take a picture of me who can lug their camera equipment up three steep miles of trail. No, I have a Pentax Optio A10 (8.0 megapixels), and I carry it in either my Ultimate Direction 2-bottle "snack compartment" or I have a small carrying case that attaches to my one-bottle belt. I don't really like running with a belt all the time, but I hate having things in my hands even more.

And don't worry about the question... ;-)
