Ran up to the fire station and back then added on the 3 mile loop around my neighborhood to make up for what I missed yesterday. Pretty relaxed pace today to give my sore legs a chance to recover. I saw rob sassa at mile 5 or so but he was headed in a different direction. About 400m from my house is a creek which was overflowing today due to the rain last night. There was a massive turtle crossing the sidewalk and headed for the street, so I decided to pick him up and bring him back to the creek. It didn't even try to bite me or anything when I picked it up, but as I got closer to the creek it started squirming and trying to get out if my grip. I set him down and he ran towards the rapids and jumped in. I hope he is alright after braving the rapids, but at least I saved him from a car or something.
