7+ miles in the 'hood this morning then a 2 mile interpretive hike at Bull Creek/ Forest Ridge. It's been several years since I've had the pass/ badge to be able to run during the Golden Cheek Warbler mating season. The pass is good for 3 years but the hike so informative today I think I may do the hike again next year. It was 2 hours very well spent. The biologist that led the hike was an Austin native and was a very, very good speaker.
I also saw an old running pal Mike Riggs. He and I ran the same first marathon, 50k and 50 mile and are also the same age. We also started our 1st 100 mile together. He finished and I didn't. We also have a bunch of training miles together but sort of grew apart the last 5-6 years. It was very good seeing him and the conversation was easy. We are still very comfortable together. We agreed to get together for a run soon. What I think is pretty damn cool is that we're both still at it 15 years later!!
