Upper Table Rock and Another Rattler


I had just enough time today to sqeeze in an Upper Table Rock run. What a fantastic day for it too.....warm, sunny, a light breeze blowing, almost no haze in the air which made for great views, lizards scampering about, the scent of buddleia filling the air......it just couldn't get any bett..........SNAKE!!!!......Holy Frickin' F-Bomb Batman!!!.....there was a rattle snake right next to me on the side of the trail only a foot away. He made his presence known with the unmistakable sound of his rattle, and as I jumped up in the air, spun around and did a cartoonish little dance, I saw him coil up ready to strike.
Just when you think it can't get any better, something awesome like this happens.

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
