Running tip #91
Don’t forget to have a little fun. Today is April 1st and I am remembering the time I went out early on the course my training group was planning to run to “plant” a rubber copperhead snake on the trail for an April Fool’s joke.

Even after I fessed up that it was an April Fool snake (cracking myself up, mostly), on every successive loop thereafter, the rubber snake didn’t fail to startle.
