Got attacked... or at least highly threatened... by a bird during my half mile walk after my run.  I thought I was going to have to hit the bird, which would have made me feel bad, but luckily a car went by and distracted it. Crazy!

We have geese where I work that are very aggressive like that. I'm glad you weren't actually attacked. There's another good use for that stick :)

Kelsey, is your pic at the national marathon? My sister ran the 1/2 a couple times and LOVED it! Nice job on the miles and glad you avoided the bird confrontation :)

ratletrap, I bet geese are even scarier than a little bird. Although the bird has crazy speed. He went after me again today (or a friend of his that lives in the same tree). I got my stick, I think I'll take it out there tomorrow morning and show them who's boss!

RAD, yep that is from the national marathon last year. It was my first marathon, and really enjoyable. The cherry blossoms and other scenery was awesome. I definitely recommend it!
