Actually, I am mortified!!!<\/p>\n
This wasn’t something I had never done before but this was the first time I was caught. \u00a0Thinking back and remembering it, I am feeling my face flush with embarrassment all over again.<\/p>\n
This morning, I only had to run four miles. \u00a0Not a problem! \u00a0This was my next to last training run for Saturday’s marathon. \u00a0The weather was chilly and windy. \u00a0Perfect!<\/p>\n
I headed out the door.<\/p>\n
I decided to head right away towards the RV park. \u00a0Usually, I stick around my street for the first mile. \u00a0My insides get jiggled sometimes and I need to head back to the house for a potty break.<\/p>\n
I should have known better.<\/p>\n
About 1.5 miles from the house, my innards said, “I really think it would be in your best interest to find a tree.”<\/p>\n
Boo.<\/p>\n
The area in which I was running did not have much in the way of “cover,” privacy, if you will, for such type of activities.<\/p>\n
Boo, again.<\/p>\n
Mentally, I gauged the distance with the fastest I was able to run. I wanted to determine if I could make it back to the house. \u00a0Nope. \u00a0Too far. \u00a0Rats.<\/p>\n
Okay, let’s see what is available for trees….<\/p>\n
Well, further down the road there is some privacy but unfortunately, there were three men working on building a new barn there. \u00a0That was out. \u00a0My best bet was this one tree.<\/p>\n
Sooo….<\/p>\n
I thought all was well.<\/p>\n
I thought wrong.<\/p>\n
Next thing I knew, the county guys drove past me.<\/p>\n
Oh No!!! \u00a0These are the guys who are always checking on me while I am out on my long runs!<\/p>\n
They, of course, saw me. \u00a0They tooted their horn as they drove by, just like they always do.<\/p>\n
Busted.<\/p>\n
I think I’ll go crawl under a rock now.<\/p>\n
