I decided to go for 8 miles since, even though it was hot, it was cloudy and not too bad out there. This cute rabbit posed for me about 3 miles in, obviously stunned immobile by my athletic prowess. I made decent time for such a hot day at 1:21:41 at 10:13 per mile. But the main attraction, besides the star struck rabbit, was the new growth of summer wildflowers I found in the Ulmer Road, Sunview Lake area. Saw my first Goldenrods and Asters of the summer, along with Fern-leaf False Foxglove, the highly poisonous Water Hemlock (same family of Hemlocks that killed Socrates), Sericea, Pokeweed, Maypops, Smooth Meadow-beauty, Trumpet Vine, Horse Nettle, Hairy Skullcap and Coreopsis; plus a couple of Burley Cudges I'm too tired to put on Flickr tonight. It was a great run and great to see the wheels of Nature turning with new delights.
