BRRRRRRR, it's a chilly 40 some degrees this morning. I wasn't quite ready for it, but what can you do. We actually slept with the windows cracked open last night. I think we may do it again, but I may have to add a blanket.

I just got in from a run through the woods. It's a very crisp morning, not just in the temperature, but the sound of the crackling crispy leaves that have fallen on the ground. While on the trail I passed an older gentleman and his dog, another man with a camera and a group of kids that I believe were working on team and leadership skills.

My run was pretty uneventful, except for the freaky thought of what if the guy with the camera whacks me over the head with it and then...well... kills me.
This is what runs through my mind. I know...crazy, but you can't be too careful.

What about the 3 large mounds of Skat left on the trail by some rather large animal. Just what kind of animal leaves that and in 3 different places. No...I didn't gather any samples for study, but the thought of running from something large did cross my mind.

All in all It was a good run...lonely, but still good. I had my little ipod shuffle playing an interval run with Lance Armstrong and Kara Goucher. It makes for good timing and that's what I needed.

Now that I have my run in and out of the way I am now wondering what I should do next.
I need to finish staining the neighbors fence, purchase somethings from Fleet Farm, and paint my family room walls in the basement? HMMMMM or should I sit down and have a second cup of coffee.

Rhonda, you know...I got it all put together and then didn't do it. I just simply forgot....thanks for the reminder. I got a lot of good suggestions. If I think about it I will shoot it your way in an e-mail.
I will say that last Sunday I played Disney Jams and the class loved it and had no clue it was Disney.

Shannon, you sound like Rendy. LoL. While getting our workout on this past monday, she put her head down to catch her breath...then she says, "What if that big truck went out of control and knocked my head off?!"

Shannon said...

Ask her about the time we were running trails at Audubon and came across a pit bull! Freok'n Scary!!!

Bre said...

Yes, she has told me. I think about it everytime I run in those trails...chills!
p.s. About a year ago from today, we were packing up for a fun-filled week in Minnesota:(
I was just telling a friend how I caught the cookie on fire in your microwave.

Listen to all the coffee junkies!! 40 degrees...we will not see that here! I walked out this morning and it was a TINY bit cool and I said out loud. "Ahhhhhhhh...". I really miss the 40-60 degree weather! However, keep the <40! Love, D
