So, whenever Share calls me, I tell her random things that happen to me and she always says I should blog about it. This is the most recent random thing that happened to me.
I have been struggling with my running schedule. It's hard to fit in an hour or two for running each day - and then have time to shower. Saturday I had planned to run with one of Katie's friends in Albuquerque but it didn't work out. So after Lily's birthday party, I came back home to go running. Well, I needed to run 7 miles and I wasn't in the mood. I was really tired and not motivated - it's boring to run alone. Now it was getting to be around 4 pm and I knew that if I didn't go now, I wouldn't get back til dark. Argh. So I got ready and complained to Bryce that I was nervous running alone because there are often random people wandering around near the trails. I sucked it up and went to the trail. Just as I entered the arroyo to go thru the tunnel to get to the trail - I saw three homeless men. Two of them were sitting in one tunnel drinking beer and the third was zipping up after peeing in the tunnel I needed to go thru. Yikes! So I said, "Excuse me" and ran thru the tunnel as fast as I could! My heart was racing until I got far away onto the the main trail.
I really need a running partner.

I've heard dogs are great running partners :) Plus then they can bite anyone that bugs you. Happy Birthday Bryce.
I think you need to invest in that runners mace I was telling you about...and nice job listening to me and posting your story. This is one you'll want to remember.
Wow, you didn't tell me about that when you told me about running your 7 miles! Yikes.
Yeah, sorry I'm such a loser friend. Since you love dogs sooo much, maybe I can volunteer one of my kids to put on a leash and bark at the strangers. I think either of my boys would do the trick! LOL
Just when you thought that running alone was enough to raise your heart rate! Once when I was running alone a car full of guys "pretended" to almost hit me. Another time, I had a guy run up right behind me and say "boo!" And no, I didn't know him. Not funny. I about crapped my pants. Yikes!
