10 mile run in Kentucky....

Today was beautiful. We hit 70 degrees....yes, 70....in Lexington, so I broke out the shorts and went for my first long run of the year. Usually my runs are pretty boring, but everyone was out today, so I thought I'd publish a mile-by-mile recap of what I saw.

Mile 1:
3 of these tried to break out of their yard and chase me. Luckily the fence held fast.


Shortly afterward, one of these tried to get hit by a car:


Mile 2:
I jumped out of the way of this combination:


Mile 3:
Sadly Uneventful.

Mile 4:a couple of cool 15 year olds on one of these (not observing stop signs, correct side of the road, or right of way for pedestrians). Note: it was not a scooter built for two.


Mile 5: A little bit of this

and a little bit of that


Mile 6:
and fight over

Mile 7:
on one of these:

Mile 8:
My personal favorite. A domestic dispute....in the front yard....between these two:


Mile 9:
The previously referenced scooter must have had a full tank of gas. It took one more shot at running me off the road.

Mile 10:
These three made their own attempt at a career as speed bumps.


All in all, a pretty entertaining afternoon. Just to reassure everyone: All the children narrowly escaped their dooms, I don't think Eminem and the Wendy's girl ever actually came to blows (though the local kids may have learned some potty words), and I overcame my inner demons and resisted poking a stick through the spokes of the moped as it breezed by.
