And yay for shorter training cycles. I'm a huge fan. <br /><br />My friend suggested to me to run the Houston Marathon.

It was like a mix between a huge turtle and a reptile. I often look back on that day and wonder if it could have been an armadillo. I had never seen one while living in Texas.Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-42108049067548635822017-08-09T11:19:38.914-05:002017-08-09T11:19:38.914-05:00Yep.

We've had one roaming our cul-de-sac some years, digging up everyone's flower beds, grrr.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-38225528232362129152017-08-09T10:24:43.273-05:002017-08-09T10:24:43.273-05:00Armadillos have very sharp teeth, will hiss at you...Armadillos have very sharp teeth, will hiss at you, and are speedy runners - so yes, they can be aggressive. Plus, any wild animal in my path is suspect, even a deer.

But we're not beginners, we all run year-round, and we finally decided to give a shorter program a try this year.

So there you go, a non-runner's opinion on running---totally useless. I'm better at commenting on BB :)) I wish I had seen an armadillo when I lived in Texas.

That dewpoint! OMG.<br /><br />I guess I didn't realize you guys trained longer than 16 weeks for your half marathon.
