Coyote

Yesterday (Monday) I knocked out a dozen miles as my last long run prior to this weekend’s half-marathon. While running along the South Platte River I had the brief companionship of a sole coyote.

Constantly vilified as a pest as Denver suburbs continually chew into their habitat with locust like ferocity, I appreciate their resourcefulness and scrappy nature in living and breeding in the urbanized environment.

    Very cool. I always consider it to be good luck to sight a coyote or a fox.

    It's weird to see them in such close proximity to I-25, isn't it? I saw one near the Children's Museum a few months ago.

    If you only knew how much of an impact these little guys had on my life last week...

    @ Fixed Gal, yep between I-25 and the South Platte. A stunning hardscape habitat complete with lycra clad cyclists!
