Ran into quite a few running buddies in the trail – some twice (Greg and Indrani) and some even thrice (Lia)!!

I was more green than the forest was…

During the 5 mile run in Alpharetta Greenway, I came across this deer who refused to be scared by human beings. I was running with my head down. At one point, I look up and there it was – staring at me. Normally, a few steps later as I approach towards them, they run away. But this one just kept looking at me – perhaps laughing at my pathetic speed.

I knew if I stopped to take a picture, she would bolt. So, awkwardly, I fished the phone out of my pocket while running at the same time and then looking back took a couple of quick snapshots. The picture quality, as a result, was nothing to write home about. I am still marveling at how fearless (or trusting) the deer was.

The ground was soft from last night’s rain. Needed lot more power to get the lift and speed…

Early morning 5K in one of my favorite spots to run in – Central Park, New York!!
