Run-blings of a 40ish athlete...

Another first…

Well, for the first time during a run on the road, I had a driver swerve towards me in a attempt to scare me off into the woods. I saw him at a distance and, as he got closer, he started hugging the white line, then swerved off onto the berm. It shocked me, but I kept on my same path - which WASN’T on the road, but the dirt shoulder. NO WHERE NEAR HIM. 

Didn’t work.

At least I was a lady and smiled when I gave them the finger…

:)

Ended up with 7.25 miles in the books at a nice 9:14 pace, and all my body parts in their rightful places.

#Runner Problems

Oh God.  Is that roadkill?  Oh geez. Don’t look at it.  DON’T LOOK.  Don’t breathe.  Hold your breath.  Please don’t smell.  DO NOT LO- Oh, it’s a clump of grass.

Hah! I wish I saw (and smelled) grass on my weekend run. Roadkill aplenty. Gah.

Hah! Just happened to me while running. Toughed it out, but it sure stung!

…and cheaper than therapy! Go run!
