shauni27 I am dying at "I am a bad ass athletic warrior princess." You are the best.
My recap is currently in draft form in 4 parts on my blog. I'm trying to figure out how to cut it down to something that doesn't resemble War and Peace. I'm working on it!!!
settle in for the random running story of the day:
Decided to do a new to me loop by my office yesterday. It wasn't long as I am still easing back in to running. 2.5 miles. I went on map my run and google earth to satellite it to make sure it looked legit. I saw that there was about 10 feet of trail and the rest was all roads. I took off and I was pumped.
Ran the first .55 miles and the road ends and turns into a trail. This is basically between two large condo units. I get to the trail and...there is a 5 foot gate and fence topped with wire. It runs into the woods and I do not see any way around it.
I think, I can either turn around and do a different run (but damnit, no, I planned for THIS run!), turn around and just go back (meaning the run would only be a mile), or scale the fence. "I'm a bad ass athletic warrior princess" I thought to myself. "Plus, all the runners I know would not let a stupid fence deter them! ONWARD I SAY" and I started to scale the fence. About 2 seconds into I realize I made a mistake, but I am a stubborn son of a bitch, so I kept going. A crowd of kids gathered. I needed to make it over the fence to show them that nothing will stop me from exercising!
Except as I go to leap off the top, the seat of my pants got stuck on the barbed wire. So for a single second I dangled there, at the top of the fence, by my ass. Then the pants ripped and I fell right down onto my face. So now I have a GAPING hole in the butt of my pants and I still have to run 2 miles, through neighborhoods, back to my car.
I need to reign in my post marathon eating. It's my H's birthday today so I was at the bakery and got 3 cupcakes and one piece of cheese cake. I promptly ate one cupcake for lunch so we each will have one cupcake and a cheesecake to share. He doesn't need to know about that extra cupcake that I wolfed down.
I fail to see how eating an extra cupcake or two once in a blue moon is horrible. #becausecupcake !!!
I'll swim in the Chesapeake Bay on Saturday so it'll be all good.
Where? What? When? Can I come?
I'm down near Norfolk on a girls' weekend. You're welcome to meet me there if it's convenient; I'll probably be swimming by myself for about an hour, maybe about 7am? I dunno, it depends on how much I drink tomorrow night. LOL

shauni27 -- I seriously cannot imagine any universe where I attempt to cross barbed wire. You are indeed a bad ass athletic warrior princess. I hope your next run is less eventful though. 😉

Damn it. That’s kind of far. Have fun!
Thats exactly what I said! Have a good girls weekend and swim though!
