Okay so here was the gut check. First day this week that wasn't on a treadmill. It was actually quite an adventure. I was planning to drive into San Antonio to go to the Temple so it needed to be early. I also wanted to avoid the heat. When I went outside I saw thousands of freakish winged bugs on the cement. It looked like they were trying to fly but just kept falling back down. It really freaked me out. I ran past all of them. They liked the light. When I got toward the road I saw A SKUNK! I ran away real fast! When he saw me he stopped and stared at me with his tail straight in the air. Enough said! I actually ended up seeing 4 skunks throughout the whole run. Most of them were far enough away though. You need to remain vigilant. I kept scanning the darkness to make sure I didn't step into a fun time. Toward the end I had peeled my shirt off because it was soaked. Then of course I run into a swarm of nats all of which stick right to me. It was gross. It happened twice. I managed 8 but it did not feel very good. To be honest I haven't felt good running outside since the marathon. Not sure what's going on but I have a lot of trouble keeping my pace down. Oh well. |
