There is a half marathon in Alex at the end of the month, and for a hot second, I considered signing up. I've only run 4 miles since being here. Speed is not my gift, but my body can usually handle jumping back into long distance running without training. I aimed for 6 miles tonight, but stopped at 5 because the field where I was running was overrun with bats!! As soon as it got dark, they all came out of nowhere. There were 15-20 bats swooping over the field. I ran my last mile just around the school buildings, eliminating the loop onto the field, but by that time I was so tired of running in circles, I decided to call it quits. My body can handle jumping into the longer distances, but my brain is having a bit more trouble!
This picture is one I took from the field (before the bats came), looking toward the middle school and the playground.
