Nice run

Nice run. No rain this time. Ran without a watch but my blackberry said it was 155 minutes, a nice time.

Saw 1 turtle, 1 black snake and 1 copperhead (!) snake on the trail. The latter, a pretty dangerous snake, was pointed out to me by some people standing still on the trail. Must be the weather.

The Catcher in the Rye

Terribly depressing. Nicely done how it transfers you into the depressing life of an adolescent, the author writes well, but depressing nevertheless.

NCRC 4 mile

Nice run, felt strong. Nice to run in a group. Lady next to me had a watch, about 38 minutes.

To Kill a Mockingbird

Another classic. Very Southern; nice to read a book from a child's perspective of live, with mysterious things being scary etc.
