Strider Kim Garrett writes: "We live 40 miles south of Casper, so my running trails are always interesting. Yesterday, my running path went through 125 bulls who were just moved into the pasture with our road through it. As I was running through them, I realized my gloves were bright red - I was wobbling along trying to run with my hands hidden in my armpits for about a quarter of a mile! Anyway, it was a beautiful new years day and the bulls must have been happy to see me, because they just let me go through them!"
