Snakes on the run...
I absolutely hate snakes. I don't care if they are just a couple inches long or big enough to eat a small donkey, they are all spawns of Satan. I must have been about 4-6 miles in today when I nearly stepped on one sunning itself along the Walkway. I had my head down and didn't see it till I was right on top of it, and when I did my heart leapt into my throat, but luckily I had already jumped up in the air so high, it didn't cause any damage. Scared the snake just as bad as it scared me. I nearly had to take a potty break in the woods after that, and I might of if I didn't think there were probably 50 more in there waiting for me (along with a few ninjas).
I have to post my splits from today, because, although I wanted to start out slower today, I was feeling so good, I couldn't help myself but run, and I knew I would pay for it by the end. And I did.
1 - 12:27.8
2 - 12:10.0 (I never run the 2nd mile faster than the first)
3 - 11:42.3 (Slow down dummy)
4 - 12:57.8
5 - 12:32.0
6 - 12:27.9
7 - 13:52.2 (That's where I should have probably been all day, maybe a little quicker)
8 - 12:39.8
9 - 13:04.0
10 - 13:34.3
11 - 13:51.7 (Fading)
12 - 18:32.2 (Nice walk, skirt getting in the way?)
Playlist:
I won't list the songs but I started out with Sugarcult, and Finished up with Blue Oyster Cult, YEAH Baby! BOC!!! I love "Counting Stars" by Sugarcult so much it made the song of the day (I need a better name for that...any suggestions?). I was going to put COBRA STARSHIP - Snakes on a Plane up there, but it features my boy Sam Jackson dropping the "MF" bomb at the beginning, and I was worried my MIL might read this some day and that wouldn't go over good with her (or my lovely wife for that matter). Ah who am I kidding the wife would probably giggle.
