I had Friday off. Everybody at the house was snoozing away so I geared up and headed off to Turkey Mountain. The weather was glorious with the sun shining, no wind, and low temperatures.

I don’t generally get to run in the morning and I headed off on the Yellow Trail.

The Arkansas River was up a little and the vistas from the trail was beautiful. And then,

I came across my old friend turtle. At least I thought he was my friend. He wasn’t too friendly and took off.

I would have thought that he could have at least slowed down for a few hundred yards to visit but I’m way too slow for him.

Have you ever had to deal with an unfriendly turtle?
