How awesome that you have turtles roaming around (though I certainly hope he didn't give you salmonella). We have a pet turtle, but none roaming in the coastal hills or local mountains. If we did, I think I might be too chicken to pick one up, though I was so, so tempted to bring home a good size gopher snake to my husband the other day. I just couldn't think of a way to run him back to the car 3 miles away.<br /><br />I hope you training is going good. Sorry about the running.

The ...Glad you had a good Father's Day Johann! The rattlers are out in abundance during spring and summertime here. I googled Puff Adders. SCARY! <br /><br />I'm not following any particular diet, what I meant by "runners diet" is one with no or minimal sugar, alcohol and saturated fat. Plus adding more fruits and veggies. I generally only eat apples for my fruit and green veggies. I want to add more colors to my fruits and veggies.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538884619777387595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791692547710240011.post-12410160784046772712011-06-21T13:14:18.391-07:002011-06-21T13:14:18.391-07:00Or you can try slowly injecting yourself with minu...Or you can try slowly injecting yourself with minuscule amounts of venom every day until you build up an immunity... :) <br />I like your action plan better. <br /><br />I love that you can see the ocean...I finally get to see the other one (Atlantic) in September. <br /><br />On Sunday (since I'm not allowed to run more than one minute - and naked at that ;) - I was bike riding on a muddy trail in the rain. It seems to rain here a lot on the arid western plains! <br /><br />I stopped to have a drink and to cross a road that is always busy with football, baseball and soccer minivan traffic and I noticed a rather large turtle looking both ways, seemingly waiting for a break in the traffic to cross. <br /><br />I put my bike down and asked him if he needed any help. He didn't say much. I picked him up anyway and gingerly carried him across the road in the direction that he was pointed. The little (heavy) bugger scratched me a few times and protested quite a lot. <br /><br />When I put him down he took a good look at me and went off in the direction that he was going, into a thicket. I'm sure I saw a saunter in his waddle and a gummy smile on his face.<br /><br />As for the scratches, that's all I could think of for my whole ride home. If you don't hear from me again, salmonella has taken hold.Windnsnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906008195127164560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791692547710240011.post-41905179633260888662011-06-21T04:18:51.510-07:002011-06-21T04:18:51.510-07:00Thanks, I had a great father’s day.

They like to bask in the sun and also like to ambush their prey on trails. I like your plan of action just in case. I will follow a similar plan I think. Hopefully we never need the plans.:) Runner’s diet…what’s that?Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.com
