I was running with a well-known trail professional athlete,

and I'm not going to say the name, and you'll see why in a second.

And heard a rattle as we passed.

And so I was just like, ah, you know, and kept running.

Because we have lots of snakes out here.

And this athlete went back and matched the snake's energy.

And just was like, hey, snake, how you doing?

And so the snake was like hissing and rattling.

And the athlete was like, yeah, let's talk.

And it worked out well.

So Christy, maybe that applies to snakes, too.

Though don't try that at home.

We're excited about our 500th episode that's coming up just

in a few short weeks.

And we want you to participate.

So we've set up a voicemail that you guys can call and record

your thoughts.

And maybe some gripes about trail runner nation.

Just leave a message at 530-492-5006-530-492-530

530-492-5006.

Yeah, and, you know, we're thinking maybe you can call back

to one of your favorite episodes.
