I hate to admit it but it was a dreary morning in Mississippi today. \u00a0It was overcast, 45F and rainy. \u00a0Icky. But seeing as I’m doing this Holiday Running Streak, I headed on out the door for some miles. \u00a010 miles to be exact.<\/p>\n
It was my initial plan to run to Schaeffer’s Chapel. Twice. \u00a0That would make for a nice, easy 10 miler.<\/p>\n
Plans have been know to change mid run and today was no different.<\/p>\n
I started on my run. \u00a0Ran .35 of a mile and decided that I DID want my ear muffy thing. \u00a0It was a bit more chilly than I expected so I went back to the house. \u00a0After I had put on the ear muffy thing, I headed on out again en-route to Scheaffer’s Chapel.<\/p>\n
The first time to Scheaffer’s Chapel was uneventful. \u00a0Traffic was light on Highway 45 South. \u00a0No problems.<\/p>\n
Coming back on the country road that leads to the chapel, I noticed a herd of cattle running along side of me (this time inside a fence!). \u00a0I stopped running. \u00a0The cattle stopped running. \u00a0I started running. \u00a0The cattle started running. \u00a0This happened a couple of times.<\/p>\n
I remembered a FB friend of mine saying that I had the most interesting experiences on my runs and that I should take pics. \u00a0I stopped running again (so did the cattle) and dug out my phone. \u00a0I turned on the video part and started running again. So did the cattle…on camera! \u00a0HA! I stopped again (I don’t know what the cattle did this time) and posted to FB tagging my friend. \u00a0#FunTimes<\/p>\n
After that, the time went quickly. \u00a0I was running down a little side road when a car pulled up next to me and stopped. \u00a0I looked. \u00a0It was one of the people that lives in the area. \u00a0She motioned for me to come over. \u00a0I did.<\/p>\n
“You run all over around here.” she said. \u00a0“Can I get to my house from here?”<\/p>\n
That is probably the strangest question I have ever been asked. \u00a0I, of course, had to ask her where she lived. \u00a0She told me the street. \u00a0I thought a minute and said that yes she could get there easily and she drove off.<\/p>\n
She had told me that they were doing some work on the railroad tracks that I run over frequently. \u00a0Of course, I had to see for myself so I headed off that way (that is why I didn’t go back to the chapel).<\/p>\n
Sure enough. \u00a0They were working on the tracks.<\/p>\n
While I was running to the tracks, however, a thought entered into my head. \u00a0Doesn’t this lady know more than just one way to get home!?! \u00a0Unreal.<\/p>\n
I just shook my head, turned onto my street (of which I know many, many ways to find) and headed on up to the house. \u00a0#1 Son had made a pork loin roast and it was waiting all yummy for lunch.<\/p>\n
There’s no place like home! \u00a0Sure hope that lady found her way to hers! \u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
