Afternoon and salutations!
Some of you may have heard about the Saturday run. Melissa, Hallie (with friend) and T'Knesha showed up to join me. Well, the first three showed up at 8, the latter showed up later. As it turns out, her "I'll be a few minutes late", turned out to be 30 minutes. When she arrived, a sheepish grin emerged on her face and she made her way towards. "I am never drinking again!" Yes, ladies and gents, T'knesha was hung over. After all that marathon training, T'Knesha became a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. Much to her chagrin, she dragged herself to meet me after a night of...wait for it...TWO margaritas! (Mind you, she did not eat before or after those two margaritas.) Sorry girl, I couldn't wait to tell someone, you had me so tickled.
Regardless of the prior night's indiscressions, she made it through the whole 7 miles...slowly. On the way back, a man in a truck slowed down to tell us to becareful going around the curve because some wild horses were loose and running in the street. At first I thought this was a joke. But he looked serious and T'Knesha took him for being serious because I kept trotting and notice she wasn't beside me anymore. She had fallen back to let me lead. Hung over and scared, T'Knesha cautiously followed. Taking our time, we made it around the curve and no horses. Apparently it was a joke, or not. Then I saw them. Four horses were across the street near a trailer home, wild-looking and free. I could only imagine moments earlier when all four horses stood at the division line of property and pavement, looking left to right as the cars passed by. The arrogant one coaxing the foal, "I dare you..." They all milled around the tree line, stealing glances as if to hide a wrong.
We finished our run and treated ourselves with some bagels a la Beagle Bagel. Kept T'Knesha from buying some Caramel cake...and myself from a cookie. It was a good morning to run. I may run again Saturday, but will have to do it earlier if I do.
Take care marathoners.
