Beautiful Fall Day

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood.. I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like YOU!*hum* *hum* haha. I hope you all remember that or are you too young? cmon.. Mr Rogers!
Sunny 60-65 degrees, faint wind - great day to be out in my neck of the woods. Had a busy day this week at work like many of you and had to work on Saturday so I slept in a bit today. Wasn't a lazy Sunday like a few weeks ago. Did a little grocery shopping and picked up lots of healthy fruit and veggies. Unloaded the bags, ate a bite, then headed out for my run. I didn't get out on the road until early afternoon. Today I decided to run through town instead of the normal Sunday trail runs. Nice change..
The reason I was humming the Mr. Rogers tune is because I seen and talked to so many people I knew while running. Lots of runners and bikes out today, rather nice. Running can be lonely for the most part, but when you have a partner to run with or at least some fellow runners out there it makes the runs so much more enjoyable. I did manage to hook up with a gent that was at the end of his 20 miler for the day. I caught him at his 15 mile mark and you could tell he wished his day was over. We ran together for 2 miles and told me that I helped him get through the rough part, he gave me a high 5 , turned the corner, and went on his merry way. I managed to see many more throughout my run including - (Please don't judge this old man.) a rather cute(ok hot !) young lady whom I caught up to around mile 8. Picture this: I'm toward the end of my run, I'm a little tired, a little sweaty and she is running about the same pace(maybe a little slower) than me.
Do I :
a) zoom by her, scaring the crap out of here
b) slow down and run behind her so she thinks I'm a perv
c) stick out the chest, flex the muscles, and pretend I'm not "winded" as a I am
d) ran casually by her like a dork and say "hey, great running!"
e) all the above
Yes, you guessed it. E) all the above LOL!!!!!
I stayed in behind her ; she turns around (oh crap she thinks I'm a perv), then zoom by her and she gives out a big OH! ; as I'm passing I stick out my chest, flex my big toe(only muscle I have), and pretend I'm not winded; then she giggles and I say," Oh I'm sorry for startling you? Great running!" I'm such a geek, dork, loser, you big dummy...
as I'm passing she says, "I saw you about 30 minutes ago running up the road and I was hoping you would catch up. I hate running by myself." Yowsa! I am such a freakin STUD!, a chic magnet, I am so cool and suave, the girls just can't stay away..
Ahahahaha. She was a very friendly, sweet 25 yr old girl who just made this 38 yr old guy feel like he was 25 again. hehe I am so freakin old..
Anyway knocked out 10 miles in 1hr 47mins. I've been able to get in some very nice long runs lately; albeit slow, but I guess they are supoosed to be.
Hope you got a kick out of that story.. :)
and I will leave you with this gem:
Studly guy!
That is just the kinda thing I would do.
