Comments: Hot, sunny, mild breeze. Thought again today about getting an iPod to listen to motivational bits as I run. Something to keep things interesting. Noticed a black caterpillar with red stripes crawling quickly to the side of the trail. Cute. As I prepared to run, I felt surprise when I noticed a black phoebe sitting on a ground-hugging branch. It sat there, chirping, less than three feet away. I knew the feeling. Who wants to run in such heat. At the 21-mile marker, I noticed two posters for the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure event this Saturday, May 20. It starts at Natomas Oaks Park, 2230 River Plaza Drive, Sacramento, and the longest distance is 75-miles. There are beautiful flowering trees along the bike trail now, but I don't know their name.
