Today when I was running I noticed something odd. Now this post might seem a little out of place or irrelevant, but it's something that has kinda stuck with me since I got back.
When I started out, I ran under a tree with the strongest scent, I'm not sure what kind of flowers they were. Maybe lilac, but it didn't look like a lilac tree. Then probably less than a quarter of a mile later, it REAKED of porta potties. None in sight, just the stench. Then as I was winding back on the loop, I passed this woman (going the other direction by the way, I don't pass other runners ha) and right after it smelled like cat food! And not just like for a little bit, but for a while after. THEN, I was almost home and my neighbors lawn was giving off that freshly cut scent- such a spring scent. As I ran into my driveway, my old neighbors car was there with its windows down and that stunk of cigarette smoke.
I just found it kind of funny that in three short miles I encountered so many smells. I suppose I didn't need to share that with whoever is reading this, but hey this is a place for me to write my thoughts and for a while that is what I have been pondering. Especially the cat food like where on earth did that come from! It wasn't even near a house!
Well, needless to say I was proud of the fact that I even got out and ran today. Yesterday was a day off and I was reluctant to get off my butt today because of the heat. I was lucky enough that it was such a short run, though. And it always feels good after.... especially after a nice cold shower...mmmmmm
