A little lamb had gotten his head stuck in a wire fence, trying to get to some longer grass. At first, I thought he was just trying to get closer to say hello, but the poor little thing really was Wedged in there. So I just pushed on his forehead till he popped out backwards. I wish I'd taken a photo.

In 2007 and 2009, I did the lower 1000, so that means I split the last 400-500 pretty much evenly between the walking and the cycling. With winds, etc, my cycling averaged to only be about twice as fast as walking. But I probably took the liberty more often to stop when on the bike. <br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015403930160909149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251913631356455961.post-89002254589504390292013-05-14T15:03:01.658-07:002013-05-14T15:03:01.658-07:00Love the sheep!
