Today after work I decided to go on a nice long trail run to try out my new sneakers. I have been experiencing pain in my Achilles and was hoping the new shoes would help. It was a perfect day to hit the trail. It just stopped raining less than an hour earlier so the trail was enjoyably soft and no one was around. About four miles in, I noticed something moving along the trail in front of me. I started to slow down. Once I got a better view, I realized the creature was a coyote. "No big deal" I thought, as I have seen many coyotes before. Suddenly, the thing started chasing me, "What the f^$k?!" I started yelling as I was running away. I began making loud noises, acting psychotic until it finally gave up realizing it didn't want to mess with a Jersey Girl. As I got back to Old Man Truck, I began stretching and unwinding from the run. I opened up my water belt to find that my car key was gone. "Sh*t." I said I said under my breath as I began the trek back the 6 miles of trail I was just on to find my key. About a 1/2 mile in to my bitching fest/trek, I thought I remembered having a magnetic key under Old Man Truck. I walked back to the truck hoping to God the place where I put the key would be obvious. Lucky for me, it was. :) I hopped in my truck and decided, "Hell, I might as well drive along part of the trail to try to find this other key" Low and behold, I found my key, in the spot where I was being chased by the coyote. Lately I have been feeling like the universe is completely against me with all these little misfortunes that I have been having as of late. However, I am beginning to finally see that life is an adventure and I am just here for the ride.
