Many years ago, I was fresh out of college and living a very unhealthy lifestyle. Like an extra cheese pizza, bottle of wine, and half a pack of smokes a night unhealthy lifestyle. One weekend, to help assuage the guilt from my lifestyle, I decided to drag my then-boyfriend out for a hike. I'm sure it was only a few miles, but we were huffing and puffing and pretty convinced we would die.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, this trail runner came blazing past us, dancing across the rocks. Before we could react, he just as quickly disappeared into the woods below.
"Whoa," muttered my boyfriend.
"What a freak!" I exclaimed, "why would anyone want to RUN on this?"
Every time I go running on the trails in my backyard, I have at least one of these similar reactions from hikers. It makes me smile. Who knows? Maybe one day--one day--they will be in my shoes.
Here's to all you freaks out there.
