Bambie

I saw Bambie today.  I mean, *The*Real* Bambie.  Poooooor Bambie :(  She was sooo tiny and soooooo cute.  She was standing on the trail with a bicycler coming at her from one direction and me coming from the other.  Ohhh goodness, she was just so precious.  When the bicycler continued to charge at her and scare her off, my eyes followed her up into the woods.  And there she stood, all alone.  :(  Her poor momma was nowhere in sight.  She was looking for her momma and appeared very confused.  Poooor Bambie.  Breaks my heart.  I hope Bambie's momma was just off munching on the golf greens.  Mommas, Don't Leave Your Babies Without A Sitter!  You see, our cows keep nursery.  It's rather quite cute.  The cows alternate and while one momma sits with the group of napping calves, the other cows wander off and eat.  So when you see all the cows, but no babies, you're missing the cow that's keeping nursery.  Take note Deer!

Anyhow, I ran 5 miles today in 48 minutes.  I wanted to run hard today and I started out that way.  The way back just Always kills me.  I had so much on my mind today I didn't even bother to take Pandora.  I didn't need Beyonce to help me pound out my emotions during the run today.  I was scatter brained today.  I thought of everything from having my pseudo-sis Dana running with me to dressing up like a pirate (you can read more about that Friday).

On last Friday's awful, horrible, painful run, my running shorts started to chafe my legs a bit.  Yesterday and today they continued.  This chafing of the legs is very painful.  Once your skin gets rubbed raw, the sweat infiltrates your raw skin and *owie*owie*owie*.  Trust me.  It's awful.  So I remembered that I should have some Body Glide somewhere, which, contrary to the thoughts of the Wal-Mart pharmacy clerk (while shopping with my mother) is Not a personal lubricant.  :)  It's stuff that helps prevent and ease chafing you big ignoramous.  Yes, that incident was much like the time I asked a pharmacy clerk where I could find the Emergen-C (a vitamin drink mix) and he tried to give me the morning-after pill.  Yes, that happened too.  I went in with a cold and he tried to treat me for pregnancy.  No wonder health care is so expensive.

Ahh, I've spent one more lovely evening blogging in my hammock.  It's getting colder and darker earlier and I haven't had much time to spend in my hammock lately.  I refuse to put the hammock up until the first snow.

Sweet dreams friends.
