Ended up finding time to run today after work. I hadn't actually eaten anything all day though except like 8 ounces of smoothie at 9:30 and an apple at noon. My manager let me go a bit early today though so I had time before we lost daylight (& warmth) so I got out there and did 30 minutes while I still could. I just ran down around the cross country course, which is pretty much this gravel loop that twists and turns around some Ag fields. I got chased by some horses, which was new for me. I've been chased by dogs while running before, but never horses. They were on the other side of a piece of wire that I assume is supposed to serve as some kind of fence, but it was still kind of scary because the wire wasn't very high up and horses seem to be fairly agile creatures (have you seen Tangled? Maximus jumps off a freaking roof and survives). So I was a bit nervous they'd jump over it or something. Good news, though: they didn't.
