This weekend, our son's had games in Richfield, so we got to experience running there. It is really hard to get up early on these baseball trips when we've been up late at games, but we did it!!! yay! MaryAnn and Bryant were out of sight pretty early on. We headed out on a great trail along a canal. After we had gone 4 miles, we realized we should start heading the other way, so we took a side road of that path. It was on this side road that a big black dog scared the bjeezies out of us. Well, Ebbi screaming is what really scared us. This dog followed us for probably 3 miles, along the highway, where I'm sure people were cursing us for just letting "our" dog just roam around in the middle of the road. We yelled at it and tried to ditch it many times, but not until we got to the Cemetery did we finally succeed in losing him. We all went in the gate and he followed us, then we went out and shut the gate. Was that mean? Probably, but he needed to go home and there were lots of ways out of there. =)... ok, we are mean. =( We set out to run 7 miles and ended up doing 8.5. Our Friend April who ran with us was not very happy since she is not training for a marathon and really has no need to run 8.5 miles... ha ha. Her trophy, she said, would be a bottle of ibuprofen!! MaryAnn and Bryant beat us back and they ran farther than us. I hope they don't decide to give up on us one day!! good times yo! One more week down! BAM!
We can't have a post without pictures! This was a beautiful run. I did go ahead of the girls because I needed to run an extra mile, or so I thought, they ended up doing just about as much as me! My watch did die on the way back and I was ok with it. I knew I would have my 9 miles in by the time I got back and I just enjoyed the run. Beautiful area!
(dead watch, but still a good run)
