A Tarantula

Just when I thought I have seen it all.....

I had just passed the three mile mark of my 6.5+ mile run when I pulled over to the side of the road to adjust my inserts in my shoe. I finished up, felt good about the adjustment, and was about to head off again when I noticed something near me crossing the street....

Yup...

a tarantula.

He was just truckin' across the road. I followed him until he entered the grass. I've seen tarantulas before but it's just different when they're not behind glass, in some sort of terrarium, and you're on their turf.

That was my cool experience on my run tonight. That...and it is only in the high 80s with low humidity. Fantabulous!
