I’ve done this hike so much that even the lizards know me. My Chuckwalla (type of lizard) bro, named Chuck (although it’s “Charles” until he gets to know you) would even come running to me, the only person I’ve ever seen who gives them water

He’ll even drink right from the bottle:

Watering him always draws a bit of a crowd, which is fun. I use the time to offer some eduction to the people around because I almost always get some tourist or some kid asking “whoa, is that a Gila Monster?”. I have seen a Gila monster once on the trail a long time (years) ago, but they are super rare, and I don’t expect to see one again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I mention to the crowd things like that Chuckwallas are notoriously brave around people. And that their self defense strategy is to wedge themselves in between rocks, puff their body up so you can’t pull them out, and whip you with their tail if you try. Sometimes Charles will start doing some push ups in place, I’m assuming to get a nice pump for the people taking pics

It did take some time of me slowly approaching while pouring water out so he can see it for him to finally accept my offering. With Charles you do have to come correct or he will run away

I guess in that regard he is like a little…

Warm up for leg day today. Race is only a few weeks away, need to start upping the distance this weekend (to at least 7 miles) and making the run be the entire workout

And also…

It's pretty fun he said the same line in two different movies.

It was the 90s you could do that kind of thing.

We take ourselves way too seriously now.

Oh I kicked a soccer ball back to a group of little Hispanic kids (probably around like 8ish), and so every lap they kicked a soccer ball at me to kick back

Normally I’d really enjoy that but it did slow me down and throw me off my rhythm :/

Is everyone ready for their gyms to be loaded with new people in the next few days?

"New year new me", says they.
