Didn't really have a plan to my run today, but it turned out to be pretty nice. There was only a few draw backs. 1. I forgot to pack socks so this was a bit weird to run without socks.. 2. With all the rain it has flooded the underpass at Wall ave. I didn't think it was too deep so I went for it. It was actually up to mid shin. So now I had no socks and slippy wet feet in my shoes. 3. At about the 4 mile mark I had tummy trouble. Due to the water under Wall ave. there was no one else on the path, so I thought I could do a potty break in the bushes. But I seem to have a mental block with this. Luckily there was a store that let me use their restroom. Tried to pick up the pace the last few blocks back to the car.
When I was running around the pond. I thought I saw a swan, but as I got closer to the side it was on I could see it was a pelican. I was very surprised. I know that there are some at the Great Salt Lake, but I never thought they would come this far north. It will be interesting to see if it's there again. Also there were two pretty little robin egg shells on the path, such a pretty color. I think they were just the pieces after the babies hatched.
