Trail Walk

This was day 3 of my training. I decide to take a different path today one that included a mile or so of trails. Trails that I have never been on before. It was very nice but tough at times. I don't think I'll be taking that path again anytime soon though. I nearly slid down a couple of times. My shoes just aren't made for trail walking apparently. I did enjoy the walk though.

I got up close to a family of geese. 6 adults and at least a dozen babies. I wanted so bad to scoop up those babies and taken them home but the parents were very protective....hissing and posturing at me! I was very cautious as I passed them. I didn't want a goose bite in the bum!

I made it through unscathed, however a few minutes later, a bug flew down my throat and I thought I was going to choke to death! As I was hacking and coughing, the headline flashed into my head 'Fat girl found on trail with bug in her throat and goose bites on her bum!' Not a pleasant thought! LOL!

Mother nature has a sense of humor...enjoy her beauty but be cautious, nature can be dangerous [& not necessarily tasty]! Ha!

Anyway, I did survive this walk. Logged another 3 miles. Yippee!

Oh yeah, tip of the day: Don't skip lunch! A powerbar is not enough to sustain you through a 3 mile walk. Even with a little extra bug on the side!
