this is one time i would have killed for a camera - or at least christine would have. woke up this morning really stiff - that'll teach me for not running easy yesterday. met christine and annie s over at humber station to 'try' and run. started off brutal - could barely move the legs up the first little hill! poor annie tolerated our pace for about 5 minutes, and then apologetically asked if she could go by - can't blame her at all ! me and little c persevered and made it over to the bottom of k2. what the heck, let's give it a go. i actually felt pretty good going up, chatting away, until - DOH - where did that little half inch stump come from. i went down, and christine immediately made the comment like 'gee, that didn't sound too good'. and then, as she was turning around, she noticed me lying in a pile of horse poo, with another just below my butt and a third just above my head. oh my god, we were laughing so hard. it took a good 5 minutes before we were able to stop, and then get me back on my feet. 12k of running, and i have to hit the one spot that has 3 lumps of horse poo on it. normally i could have recovered from such a small stumble, but today the feet wouldn't lift more than 2 inches off the ground. and so to robbies' statement of after a long run, trying to avoid shag carpets and curbs, we add half inch stumps! too funny!! we eventually made it to the top of k2 without further incident. the way back was fine too, except for a couple of mountain bikers complaining about a bit of mud on the trail. excuse me - you're mountain biking. haha, wait until they get to the section with the horse poo.
little c had to jet, so me and annie drove over to hockley for a sweet coffee and some yummy snacks. whoda thought an extra large muffin and a pecan butter tart could fill one up so fast??!! not to mention the caramel chocolate puddle. argh! anyways, another great fall day in the forest. thanks ladies!!
