dead animal morning

yesterday, i went running with my son early.  we ran 4 miles in the sun and were just drenched when we got back. i love me a good sweat! 
today, i got up early and ran 8 miles.  i ate a handful of life cereal and a few sips of coffee before heading out.  at mile 4 i had a blackberry GU which held me through the entire run.  my legs were definitely feeling  jet lagged but i think all that mac and cheese i ate last night helped out!  i saw too many dead animals - large frog, a squirrel, a bird, a racoon that was quite fresh, and the cutest sweetest little tiny gray field mouse - like the kind that sing "blue moon" in the movie babe.  my timing wasn't great but all that matters to me right now is that i'm following the schedule and got the run done. can i get an amen?!
