My heart is still racing!!!!
Good evening mates! Since today is a running day I decided to take advantage of “luxury apartment living” and go for my short 2 mile jog on the “scenic lake view hiking path” that was advertised with my new place. I’ve been meaning to check this out but it has been too cold out. Today’s 60 degree weather (thank you global warming!!) put me in the mood for some out door exercise so I gave it a try.
I started out at around 6:30. Why didn’t it occur to me that it would get dark? It was already dusk when I started but I didn’t even think about it, and sure enough about 1/2 mile in it was getting creepily dark, but I’m in a safe neighborhood now so I decide to tough it out and keep going. Well I come to the last stretch of the 1 mile loop around the complex and I was upset to see that this quarter mile runs behind the garages in a sort of alley way. I think alley’s are creepy anyway so running this one at night seemed especially eerie. So on one side of the alley is the back of the garages in one long stretch (aka: no way to escape!) and on the other side is a short chain link fence and what I THOUGHT was a field.
BUT IT WASN’T A FIELD MY FRIENDS!!!
It took me about a tenth of a mile to realize there were HEADSTONES in that field!!!! I was running in an alley between garages and a freakin creepy ass cemetery with old crumbly overgrown headstones complete with spider webbed fake flowers. In the dark!!!!! GOOD GOD!
Then the sprinting began! I seriously booked it the rest of the way to my apartment, I was so freakin creeped out, I kept looking behind me because I was convinced I heard a noise and because of it I almost tripped twice! I didn’t finish my 2 miles, I figured my heart rate was so high the last part of it that my workout was done.
Just had to share, be back latta

I have to admit I was laughing at myself (after I got in the house safe and sound that is lol!) so I’m glad you guys saw the humor in this, I think I’ll take a pic of the creepy ass ally so you guys can feel my pain!!!
