It was a gorgeous evening to outrun your day, as you can see be our soybean n' sunset shot from the Shoal Creek bottoms, near Highway 140. Traffic was heavy on the Hazel Dell and Hospital Hill tonight, with most motorists yielding the right of way. While you're out, mind your step. Snakes are sunning on the asphalt in the evening hours, so be ready to perform reptile rescues. As you pick up Ayers Road headed north, watch for dogs. They're jubilant about meeting runners, and will offer encouragement by matching your pace. And now, stats for tonight's animal encounters: Reptile rescues involving recalcitrant baby garter snakes: 1. Cats signing on for a run: 1. Cats losing interest after a half block: 1. Dogs offering escort in wildly enthusiastic fashion: 2. Dogs I escorted home: 2. Nice dog owners met: 1. If you missed today's run, make a date for tomorrow. This has been your road report for Tuesday, August 8, 2017. Be careful out there! #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runner #rundone #runners #roadrunner #roadreport #rural #ruralroute #ruralrunning #ruralrun #ruralrunner #sunset #soybean #fieldofgreens #hazeldell #illinois (at Greenville, Illinois)
