Weirdest Training Expericnces.

[Greenlawler]

So we all have run hundreds and thousands of miles training for Disney races.

What is your best crazy training story....

Mine is..

One day I was doing a simple 6 mile run on a service road near my house when I saw a dead deer on the side of road, about 70 yards ahead, and a guy checking him out.

I kept running but slowed when I saw the guy walking towards me on the road with a rifle.

I thought maybe he needed help, like his car was hit until I got closer and he raised his rifle to me.

I ran the opposite direction and actually cut thrugh the woods in fear.

I ran that same route for years, but have never run the same route since.

Finishing up a long run and two friendly dogs joined me. Wasn't paying attention and one of them took my legs out from under me and I fell The other sat in my lap and wanted to be petted. Guess I was going to play with them whether I liked it or not.

Mine was actually while training for my first marathon. I ran a race at Horseneck Beach in Massachusetts. It was extremely hot
with not shade. It was only a five miler, but I believe I end-up with heat stroke. The daughter of the friend I was running with
was rooming with one of the best female runners in New England at the time. I believe her name was Judy St. Helaire. She
brought her over to introduce her and I couldn't even get up. Weird and embarrassing.

Another one....

I have run everyday just about for 20 years, most of these runs are in neighborhoods.

I had never been bit by a dog.

But one day just over two years ago I was bit TWICE in one day, by two different dogs.
