how to take a run in the woods

Feb 25, 2007 13:49

we got to hear a building being demolished this morning. thats the kind of stuff that happens early in the a.m. that under normal circumstances id sleep through. theres this whole other world that exists while im usually sleeping off a hangover, apparently. like last weekend it was getting to see marathoners peeing in the bushes everywhere. if i hadnt joined team in training i would never have the lovely experience of seeing a woman run out of the bushes pulling her pants up while yelling at her friends "AHHHHHHHH".

so we heard the building fall like thunder then it was off to run on mountain bike trails. and let me tell you how happy the mountain bikers and hobos were about us being on their trails. it wasnt long before the protein shake i had at 6 a.m. was going "haha try steak next time, hippy".

plus rumeysa wasnt there to make goat noises with me which is usually what keeps me going when faced with a hiking situation. that and bananas. and i had none of either.



"ready to hike"

before we began our expedition it was explained that there would be some rock obstacles and someone i need to be friends with asked "Will you be throwing them at us?". todays purpose was to utilize muscles we didnt know we had - aka our mountain goat muscles. which as it turns out was our neck muscles because we were looking at the ground the whole time dodging roots and rocks. I asked if there were going to be any snake pits and another girl asked where the bathroom was. of course it was a guy who answered "everywhere".

it was pretty awesome really. i guess i feel this way because i was raised a river rat so it was kinda back to my roots. minus the teevas and cattle.



"nature" and my sister running through it.



see some things never change.

anyway my senior moments have been fewer and further between this weekend. although i did go to a tupperware party for brunch yesterday and spent last night hanging out with Twinkletoes while she did laundry. pretty awesome. but i didnt lose my phone and the vacuum is still broken so i was unable to suck up the other half of my living room rug. so hey, theres that.

now i just have to have 100 letters ready to mail to people tomorrow. first of all i have to figure out if i know 100 people. then i have to find their addresses. then i have to find a way to get envelopes with no money because remember i lost my debit card last weekend. im thinking maybe i can barter. too bad the only thing im rich with is cheese. #10 regular 70 lb. for havarti, anyone?

maybe i could barter with these things i found call "checks"? i hear they were used for bartering back in the day. cause this no money thing sure is becoming an issue. like i hope its okay to feed cats cereal. it would be nice if my new debit card would arrive because cats dont like Fiber Plus apparently.

JUST KIDDING.

but seriously. 100 letters.
i could really use some crystal meth about now but guess i'll settle for endorphins and trail mix.
