Spinning Wheels - 90 minutes on the spinning bike 31.5 miles. Uneventfully going nowhere. I would trade Sasha's uneventful half for this ride every day of the week.
Good luck to all the Cookie Chaser and Hurricun Half runners. We need great race reports to read.
Runners Shorts: 27th day countdown
I don't have the mental energy to write another Broozer short or start the Mick and Tony running shorts. So, tales of the bizzare and running in the dark.
Bare Buns - Hot August morning, overnight low 90, me and Sylvie started our long run at 4:30 a.m. to beat the heat, ha, ha,. about 1 mile north of our house, we see a guy riding a bike smoking a cigerette. Sylvie says, what is that guy wearing, he looks all pink. As we get closer, he was bare naked riding a bike. Now, what do you do in a situation like this? We just kept running. I thought, should be chase him, to what end? Roger Miller would be proud the this bare bunned rider smoking a cigerette til dawn.
Darth Vadar - Release of Star Wars, also brought Darth Vadar to the parkway. 5 a.m. running accross the wooden path, accross a swampy area, hear walks darth vadar, well maybe not the real darth vadar. Again, what should I do, pepper spray him, I didn't bring light sword, I was at the mercy of this creature from another galaxy. Well, I just said good morning with no response and ran on by. Sylvie was with me a couple of weeks later and we seen him again. Weirder than weird.
Rats - Dark again, me and Sylvie running accross a foot bridge, about a dozen rats on the bridge, Sylvie stops, I start yelling at the rats, they didn't understand english and I couldn't speak ratish. I started pepper spraying and yelling at the same time while stomping my feet. They slowly moved off the bridge so we could pass.
Halloween - Me and Sylvie we training for the Disney World marathon, we reached gardner village where I had hidden some gatorade. We stopped, two younger boys 15 or so we stopped near us, kind of weird for 5 in the morning. All of a sudden, out of the bushes jumps frankinstien to scare the two boys. We quickly decided it was time to get running again and leave the crazy halloweeners.
Biscut at the Mill - Now, this one is real bizzare, we were running south on the parkway, a guy in an orange jump suit is running right us yelling do you want a biscut at the mill? Do you want a biscut at the mill? The orange jumpsuit attire, looked like he escaped from the lunny bin, a clockwork orange, without Jack. As the guy approached, I told Sylvie to get behind me and move off the trail, I was going to body block him, trip him or something if he kept coming right at us. We managed to avoid him and kept running.
If you run long enough, strange things will happen, always carry mace and stay quick on your feet. Have a great weekend, the next runnings shorts should be more memorable.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
