day 3

Red and I just got back, 25 min and some change, did the "path", over to the last pond which partly covers the path and back, real easy pace - 145 avg bpm, calves little tight so kept POSE style and pulled those lower legs up fast.
Only went to last part of path b/c I did not want Red to jump in...5 min opposite way, what does she do? jump head first into 1st pond she sees, gawd she's funny.
I was speaking to her a little more on this run, she loves that, and cannot wait to play with her a little more in Scottsdale in AM's when we search out some routes to take, hope we can find some off asphalt as she'll need booties, it is 31 deg there at 6:10 AM right now with 41% humidity, and its 11 deg and rainy/misty here with 94% humidity.
The birds were in full force today everywhere, these kind of birds i posted above are always around small ponds in the area, seems like they are VERY protective of their site as I always see them "guarding" from crows, ravens, even dogs and humans, funny stuff. Rest of today is rest, will work on some mobility on the lower legs as the day goes on.
INFO:

Red-winged Blackbird. The male has a black body and bright red wing patches edged with yellow on the bottom. You can find them near any body of water with cattails. Just listen for their distinct call, “kon-ka-reeee”
