Happy Friday! I'm joining in with the Friday 5 fun today, where the topic today is unique running routes. My routes aren't too unique.. so I'm sharing 5 things I've seen on my summer runs!
5 Things I've Seen On My Summer Runs
- Turtles... I usually don't see snapping turtles, he must have been relocated after Harvey.
- Big white birds
- On my weekend long run, I get to see the sun coming over the trees!
- One route has is a koi pond
- The coldest water fountains in the summer... seriously the water is ice cold!
What unique running routes do you have? Do you see a lot of wildlife on your runs?
I'm linking up with Running on Happy & Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five 2.0 linkup!

I never luck out and get cold water fountains. They are always just luke warm. That is a Huge turtle!
ReplyDeleteNot much wildlife in the city limits...though I have spotted a few 'coons on occasion (in the early, pre-sunrise hours).
ReplyDeleteSome of the drinking fountains on my runs do not have very cold water. It's so weird!
ReplyDeleteEven though I live in a very populous area, I see a lot of wildlife on my runs.
I do not have unique running routes. I pick a route depending on the run. I run by my house, on the trail, or along the lakefront. The best route I have run in is Alaska. Beautiful there.
ReplyDeleteOoooh a cold water fountain is SO excellent! I wish I had any water fountain but nada here. We've got amazing wildlife here but I hate when turtles go in the street!
ReplyDeleteEvery single one I've ran across is luke warm too, except this one... I always try to include it on my route on the hot days.
ReplyDeleteMost of mine are luke warm at best... this cold one was an awesome find during a hot 18-miler :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine how beautiful Alaska is...
ReplyDeleteI see so many people stop their cars and get out to pick up a turtle and set them away from the road.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually see lots of wildlife in my races and I believe that you're lucky to enjoy the nature, Vicki!
