you are doing all right now? >> yeah, i am fine, dan. a little shaken up, but fine. dan: i will bet. walk us through what happened. >> i was doing a 150 mile drill run -- trail run, i was coming down the trail at about 3 a.m., i had a headlamp on, you don't stop when you do these ultramarathons, you just run straight through the night, so i opened up an energy bar to eat, and they took a bite, and took a few steps, and i heard something coming up behind me, and i thought, someone's dog is out on the trail, and when i swung around to look, a coyote just hit me and went right down into my face. dan: gosh. >> that's what happened. i looked up and it was in front of me, i was running with running poles, so i hit it and it scurried off. dan: that is wild. when it hit you, it didn't bite

you, he just knocked you down, basically? >> yeah. it knocked me on my face. i want to be perfectly clear, it was not after dean, it was after dean's food. i see hundreds of coyotes and have never had an incident. i don't want people to be freaked out that they can't go use these trails. i just think that the big issue is people are starting to feed coyotes food, human food, and it's always accreting some problems. dan: and they smell that, a coyote will typically not attack a big guy. you run these trails for years and you have seen dozens, hundreds of coyotes over the years, nothing like this has ever happened? >> hundreds and even on this very race, i saw coyotes earlier in the day, and there was no altercation or anything. it was just very isolated and it was in an area that i later learned people have been problematic with people feeding

the coyotes, so i think i just saw the food and saw an opportunity. i just happen to be in between the two. dan: how big was the coyote, roughly? a medium-sized dog? >> what struck me was -- it happened in a flash. but what immediately struck me as it looked healthier than the other coyotes that i typically see. a lot of the ones i see look rather scrawny and mangy, this one had some girth to it. its hair was nice, definitely well fed. may be a medium-sized dog. dan: ok, plus question, you were not -- last question, you were not scratched or bitten in any way, right? just knocked to the ground? >> there were no scratch marks to my back or anything like that, i have a tetanus shot, but i didn't have to get any rabies shot or anything like that. dan: we are so blessed to have these wonderful trails in our area, for people who like to enjoy them, what would you tell them after your encounter? >> i'm going to be back out there. [laughter] i encourage them to her as well, i think that if they see someone

feeding a coyote, to say something. let wild animals be wild. part of the mystique and the magic of ultramarathoning is you are out in nature and you see a lot of animals, deer, coyotes, bobcats, rabbits -- it is a really unique experience. we are just so blessed to have it right in our backyard here in the bay area. so i say to come on out and just be a little bit more mindful. don't be running at 3 a.m. by yourself eating food. [laughter] dan: you would think this is the universe telling you not to run 140 miles at one time. [laughter] kristen: -- >> no, i just think i learned a valuable lesson. it is human behavior that causes this, not the animal's fault. dan: i'm just teasing you. i've done 140 mile trail runs, over the span of about one to, if you add them up. probably close. >> you are welcome to come out and join me any day, would love to have you. dan: glad you are doing ok, you
