Last night after Weight Training class Doug, Mols and I took a nice walk on the trails...and then this morning I got up and ran my miles because it was either going to be 95 degrees, raining or 95 degrees and raining when I got off work-so I thought I would knock it out early. I was the only one with my tail on the trail until my trek back in when I saw more tail than I wanted...
I KID YOU NOT!IT.WAS.A.SCORPION!
FOR REAL!
He was a bit more red than this one and maybe not as large. But when I went to leap over him he rared his nasty claws at me. I didn't stop to play or smash him but do wish I would have had my camera because I do have some non-believers...DOUG. Now why on Earth would I come home out of nowhere on a Tuesday morning run and tell you I saw a scorpion? Cuz I'm famous for telling tales I guess...Sure thing...Goose. He claims it was hot out this morning and I may have been hallucinating. Turd.
YIKES, you've got some "sirus" wildlife going on there!!
ReplyDeleteDon't let Ms. Mols play with that critter!
I know! Doug asked me today if it was a crawdad or a red polar bear. Still not thinking he's believing my story.
ReplyDelete....towards the end of my last hill repeat, I saw a large penguin. He was calling me names....
ReplyDeleteI believe you Kim and somehow Doug... I believe that you probably really do see penguins out there... friendly penguins I am sure.
ReplyDeleteHey Kim, good idea, I went and ran the same trail yesterday (at least I think we're talking about the same trail, goes behind the new Walmart?), anyway, that will be realy nice when it's done.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any scorpions, but a large fire-breathing dragon lives under the bridge!
KC Stine-Yep-same trail. We must REALLY be neighbors. We really need to meet up. Think about coming out on a Thursday night to run with us.
ReplyDeleteFriday the dumped some gravel on part of the trails so they must be getting closer to pouring some asphalt.
AND...I KNOW! I saw him too. He's VERY friendly. His name is Cesar.
