14 that Turned 15 mile training run

This run was done from my work and mostly on the Kent Trail system. It was a great trail. I am not going to report much about the run per say but the adventure of this run.

1. We were crossing an intersection within the crosswalk with the light telling us it was our turn to cross--however, a distracted drive decided it was her turn as well and about ran us over. She looked up in the nick of time to slam on her breaks and hopefully piss her pants.

2. Then we were at a light patiently awaiting our turn to cross. When the common running release came from Jen--a burp--then we realized there were two guys in there car at the red light with their windows down. Since we had been running in the high heat everyone was riding with windows up and AC on so we did not have to worry. The guys got a good laugh and talked to us about our run until the light changed.

3. On the trail down by the river we were running and it started to rain and the wind started to blow the trees some. WHen we heard a splitting noise and a big tree limb breaking off and bending towards the trail. Thank goodness it dropped off into the woods and not on us.

4. Then we overshot the Zoo and ended up running an extra mile. Oh well, it was a fun day!

Finished in a downpour! Yahoo--our kind of run!
