I like to run when I travel. I use my Garmin GPS watch to log my route and performance then I post it to Strava. It is totally nerdy, but as exercise motivation it works very well for me. Sometimes I see interesting things along the way, which makes quite a bonus.

This morning I went for my first run in Louisiana.

I started from the campground, went along the main road and turned onto the dead end Streeter Rd. The dead end road was awesome, I was on the edge of a swampy forest that had lots of interesting sounds.

I listen to podcasts when I run. This morning I was enjoying an episode of TBTL when I could hear strange sounds coming from outside my earbuds. I paused the show. I saw movement in the green-coated water. I switched my phone to the camera and started to record video.
