Total Distance
21.00

first 10 with Merri, it flew by. We kept a great pace. The 2nd half I ran alone with music. And it flew by as well. You all should run with me, I have the funniest things happen to me all the time. This morning, I was at mile 20, and I turned a blind corner near my neighborhood and a high school kid on a bike and I ran smack dab into each other. What was funny was the martial arts maneuver I performed. He was on a bike so I ended up quick thinking and straddling his front tire.  I didn't want the front of my legs annihilated by his front tire. Yeah, I straddled his front tire. LOL!

What kind of martial arts teaches straddling front tires of bicycles? :-) Tae Bo?

Too funny. At mile 20 I woulddt have been able to attempt anything other than a forward motion, so I would have gone down. Great miles, Lily!!!

great run, lily. it's the exact moment that you are straddling his front tire that his mother comes around the corner...

Does that say your avg pace was 6:58??? Holy crud girl. HOLY CRUD!

And I am so glad no damage was done, pedestrian bike accidents can be nasty!

From Lily on Thu, Sep 08, 2011 at 21:17:31 from 67.199.178.210

I'm still laughing about the kid on his bike. I did a little hop and a spread eagle kick and wall-la! I was straddling the front tire. It's better than a shin accident right?

Allie: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks ya'll!
