eep!!

Today's entry is from my running and eating blog... www.yummersforrunners.blogspot.com.   it's a blog dedicated to my training and eating.  Mostly about how I'm switching to intuitive eating and learning to trust myself....  Here is the entry for today.
76 this morning with 96% humidity.  Funny that as I recovered from my morning fright (more later) I thought it felt cooler this morning... hm.  I did an easy 2, not 3.  My hamstring was sore so I let a mile slide.  I'll make it up on a longer run Friday. 
The fright.
Once again I realize that I live in the everglades.  I came outside this morning at 5:15 and I saw a little animal running off of the porch! I thought, "Oh- Tommy (FIL) would LOVE this! We have a stray cat like he does!"  So I turned to lock the door and I saw the "cat" run to the neighbors house.
not a cat.  at all.
GIANT RACCOON!! 

Now, I realize that you may not get how scared I was but it totally took me by surprise.  Remember- I come from a building where we saw manatees in our "yard."  Manatee=/=Raccoon.
I half expected to have an alligator snap at my legs this morning!

  1. I can't believe you have raccoons. Lynn and I were close to a skunk the other night as we were walking over at his school. Now that was scary!
