Today’s Run: \u00a0Rest Day<\/p>\n
MFH (My Favorite Husband) and I ran with the running group this past Saturday morning. \u00a0The scheduled route was 15 miles and we figured we would do about half of that. \u00a0My long runs are on Wednesday and Thursday now, so we do not do uber long runs on Saturday’s anymore.<\/p>\n
Seeing as MFH still has a bit of Sciatica discomfort, he ran the first .80 of a mile with me (do not you just love Garmin’s for mundane details like .80 miles?) and then I continued on my own.<\/p>\n
It was a very cold morning by Mississippi standards. \u00a0It was 23 F. with a light North wind. \u00a0Brrr cold!<\/p>\n
We ran on Mt. Olive Rd. \u00a0Mt. Olive Rd. is rolling hills. \u00a0Kill The Hills!!! \u00a0That is my motto! \u00a0When I run this particular road, that old Lamb Chop song comes into my head with a slight change of words…”This is the road that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends…” \u00a0The road Never. Ends. \u00a0It goes on forever!<\/p>\n
I finally reached the end of Mt. Olive Rd. and turned around to repeat my steps. \u00a0Again singing along, “This is the road that never ends…” \u00a0I was almost to the turning point on the way back to the meeting house when this pickup truck started heading right towards me! \u00a0Yikes! \u00a0I stopped running and waited. \u00a0The truck kept veering towards me. \u00a0I stepped off of the road. \u00a0The truck still kept veering towards me. \u00a0I stepped into the ditch! \u00a0The truck abruptly jerked away and stopped.<\/p>\n
This is the point where I tell you I was wearing a blaze orange jacket. You could see me a mile away. \u00a0Pretty bright jacket!<\/p>\n
The window of the truck rolled down and the little old man started yelling at me!<\/p>\n
“How can you expect me to see you!?!” he yelled.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry.” I said.<\/p>\n
“You shouldn’t be out here running on the side of the road!” he yelled again.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry.” \u00a0I said. \u00a0And I looked down at my jacket. \u00a0It was still blaze orange.<\/p>\n
Hmmm…I am thinking to myself. \u00a0I do not know how much more visible I could make myself!<\/p>\n
I informed him of other runners behind me on the road and moved on.<\/p>\n
So, yes, I was yelled at on Saturday morning. \u00a0By a cute little old guy. \u00a0A very grouchy, cute little old guy. \u00a0Gotta wonder if there was something in his Wheaties that morning? \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
