Today’s run was another 6-miler, and, thankfully, happened to be one of the occasional Saturdays which didn’t call for “race pace”. I did my usual route, the “Kibbie/sheep run”, which, surprisingly enough, goes behind the Kibbie Dome and through the university’s sheep farm. (My buddies weren’t out eating today…) Almost every time I do this, or similar, runs, I see a few birds running around on the road just north of the sheep farm. At first, I thought they must be roadrunners. I mean, they are running on a road - and they’re pretty good at it I might add - the little buggers are faster than me! They even have a little tuft of feathers on their heads that look like they might have inspired a cartoon version on Wile E. Coyote’s nemesis. But alas, Wikipedia tells me that the Greater Roadrunner is exclusive to the southwest, not the northwest. It’s probably just some Idaho species of sparrow taunting me.
