Well, sir, I won’t bore you with the details of our miraculous escape, but we desperately need a real emergency exit!
So I cheered for the Vikings on Monday night…and I even liked it :-) That was such a fun game to watch…and both my fantasy teams won so Go Me!
Unfortunately, I was also sick with an inner ear issue that is causing me to fall over when I turn too quickly. It’s almost humorous if it wasn’t so annoying.
However, I’m hardcore and went running yesterday anyway. And I saw the WEIRDEST thing. I ran around a curve in the path and there was a girl there. No…seeing a girl on the path isn’t the weird part. The weird part is she was dressed in a deerskin dress, she had no shoes on, was wearing a head band with braids in her hair and was shaking a bush and picking up the berries that fell from the off the ground, and putting the berries in a reed basket that was full of other reeds and plants. I have NO idea where she came from or why she was dressed like an Indian…and I was kind of scared to ask. But seriously…it was just bizarre.
Then, I saw bear poop on the path and I got a little freaked out and was paranoid I was going to run into a bear. I think I need to find somewhere else to go running for a while. Sigh.
And…I also decided that I’m NOT going to run the half marathon this November. I was doing a 10 mile run yesterday and I realized I was completely resenting having to run and I was miserable. I haven’t had fun running in FOREVER and I just want to be able to enjoy running again.
So, I’m dropping down to only running the 8k. That means I can drop my training runs down to 4-6 miles (which is my happy distance) and hopefully get back to enjoying my running instead of dreading it. That was kind of a hard decision to make because I feel like I’m so wussing out when it comes to not running the half, but then I realized it’s stupid to do something for fun…that’s just making you miserable. Obviously…it’s not fun right now. So I’m not doing it.
And maybe I’ll try to do another one sometime next year. I just need a break from training.
Anyways, hope everyone is having a great week!
I went to college with that girl. She never shaved her legs and she ate twigs and grass during my bio lab. Tell her I said hi.
Think the era infect made you hallucinate!
so how do you know if it is bear poop? (i know that grizzly bear poop has bear bells in it, haha, but otherwise…) maybe the girl in the deerskin dress pooped on the trail?
