Afternoon Run

Nebor

Lifer
So I decide to go for a run this afternoon, here in Dallas, Texas. Thermometer is reading 100 degrees outside la casa. I'm usually a night time runner, but since I had some spare time, I thought, hey, why not?

Because it's freakin hot as sh!t in Texas, that's why not. I made it about 3 miles out of my usual 5 mile when I realized that somehow, my body had run out of moisture. I couldn't swallow, my mouth was dry, my legs hurt. It was like a freakin death march.

During that last mile, I hear a scurrying on a fence to my side. I look over, and there's a squirrel looking at me with the same expression that I have, "Oh sh!t, a squirrel! He's only 2 feet away!" Well, the squirrel starts running down the fence in the same direction as me, and then all of a sudden, leaps OVER me to a tree on the other side of the trail, leaving a stream of squirrel urine behind, like an octopus escaping a shark. I was the shark. And I was not amused.

And so, dying of thirst, lightheaded, and peppered with squirrel piss, I arrive home, to write this post, as I chug Gatorade.

Stay cool out there man, it's fscking hot.

I think, really, I have about thirty thousand points over the squirrels.
 
That's an amusing story, but don't go running dehydrated like that (even if you don't feel thirsty, drink water, or bring a bottle of water with you). It could've been more dangerous than just getting pee'd on by a squirrel...

...besides, he could prolly smell you were dehydrated and was trying to cool you down 😛

No pics, not posts. Go back out, trap that squirrel, release him in a park, and film him getting pancaked by a truck.
 
lol, those damn squirrels.

A similar story (includes both squirrels and running):

My old cross country team, in high school, had home meets in washington park, albany. now, this park had an extreme squirrel population (there were a sh!tload of squirrels there). So on every friday before a home meet, we would go squirrel hunting, and terrorize the local squirrel population. The entire team would isolate one or two, circle around them, then close in. A few times we hit them with rocks and sticks and stuff, but never severely maimed or killed any 🙁 Anyway, it was a good time, and it was great to see the look on the faces of the people watching us...
 
So between that and the acorn, it seems like they may be developing a master plan. I'd watch your brake lines if I were you 😛

Especially after that video you posted of a squirrel you 'saved' running straight under the tire of a car! 😀
