random...

so i couldn't sleep at all last night, ended up dozing off close to 7am. 
wake up at noon. 
im drowsy, tired, and feelin lazy.

i decide: i'll go for a run.

after some chores and at 1.50pm i take off with in mind that im gonna run maybe 2 miles, but on a different route.  so instead of running along Magna Carta, i turn on to Keele rd.  i almost hit Fox Mill rd when a young black lab jumps out of nowhere and stops in front of me.  haha, the tail is wagging and theres a smile on its face: the puppy wants to play! however out of concern that the dog is lost, i call the dog and it runs away (natural reaction)...i chase it and it runs away even further but stops at a certain house.  so i figure that its at home and take off.

when im on the side of fox mill rd going toward the county parkway, where there is no path, i notice the cars passing me slow down then come to a stop.  through my headphones i suddenly i hear a jingle. i look back and apparently the dog was chasing me out of fun...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.  i freak out and chase it.  the dog crosses the road completely, then a stranger..a girl..calls the dog.  i think the dog was thinking: someone new and there can only be fun!  So the dog chases after the new person, who i assume is the owner.  and i chase after the dog.  only to see that when the dog catches up the new person it bolts past her and back to the house that i saw it stop at earlier. great, she's not the owner.  
then the dog KEEPS RUNNING! crosses the street back and forth a few times.  the girl and i keep chasing the dog.  we corner it to a nearby house...in hopes to get the leash and read it.  then the dog passes us yet again.  then goes in the front door...which was evidently left open. 
that was the house it belonged to, because the owner came to the door.

turns out the girl was going in the opposite direction on Fox Mill and saw that the dog was in the middle of the road and pulled over.  very sweet of her, and she has 3 dogs.  and no, i didnt get her name.  instead? i went on my run.

that was a random adventure.  and i went on a random run.

i hit my first destination with a lot of energy so i keep going for another mile.  still got some in me, so i go again.  and more. and more.  a couple hours later i start to cramp and walk home. 
when i got home i stretched, hydrated, and then measured out my random run and the walk home.  it was about 8 miles.

...what.....the hell? i cant even run 2 miles around my neighborhood without tripping or feeling like im gonna have a heart attack, but today? i ran about 6.5 miles and walked the rest...thats not even including the little exploration trips i took when i saw a path i hadnt seen before.

so i got home at like 6pm. and since then ive been watching House Season 4, and "Chuck" online on nbc.com.  Chuck is a somewhat goofy yet fun show.  still dont know what the original story line is, but it entertains me.

today was random.  this is what happens when i dont work, haha.
