The Liquor bottle run
I decided to be proactive and get up early today so I would have the time and energy to get a run in without getting too hot. The alarm went off at 6... I didn't get up until 6:40... Yeah. That's motivation for ya! But when I finally did drag myself out of bed, I was ready to run. A granola bar and orange were good enough to tide me over until I got back and could make some eggs. Got the dogs fed, leashed up, and off we went!
I decided to go run in a really nice neighborhood next to ours... the one with $700k+ houses that I could only dream of. But it was nice! The temperature was about 65-70 degrees and it felt so awesome! The dogs were being really good, just trotting along beside me having a seemingly good time themselves like always! I knew the neighborhood well. I used to run it in the early early mornings in the winter when it was pitch black outside and it has some nice hills too so I was excited to actually get a good run in as well. Little did I know that I would be laughing at just about every house I passed...
It was recycle day I guess because everyone had their little recycle bins out full of stuff to keep the environment clean. I had seen all the beautiful houses before so I decided to try a new habit, and look into their recycle bins as I ran by (No I did not stop and rummage through them!). I saw one, then another, and then another... It was a trend! Pretty much every single recycle bin I passed had a huge empty bottle of some kind of expensive liquor in it! After about the 3rd one, I started laughing! Either these people had a really great Memorial day party, or they were drinking so much because they had some kind of problem! It was awesome!
Needless to say, the pups and I finished our run without incident on a happy note. Good run, cool temps, and relatively no round ligament cramping! Success!! I will have to get up in the morning to run more often! It's more fun that way and makes for a good start to the day. And plus, if I ever get thirsty, I know that on Mondays I don't have to bring any liquids... they will be waiting for me at each house I pass.
