I'm Back!!

Yesterday I began my training again.  It was a bit of a rough start and the walk/run made me very tired quickly.  I was hoping to just jump right back in where I left off, but that didn't happen.  I did a little under a mile and that was all I could muster up.  Today, on the other hand, was a different story.  I hit the streets early for a walk and I tried a different route.  It was invigorating!  I walked 2.27 miles in 50 minutes and some of it was a little hilly.  I'm tired and my feet are sore, but I keep telling myself that it is good tired. 

I'm sure you are all waiting to here about my newest trash discoveries.  Well, maybe you're not, but I'm going to tell you anyway.  My walk/run yesterday was my old route, so you know some of the stuff I've encountered has been weird.  There was a pair of glasses.  Really a pair of glasses?  Did this person not know they were throwing their glasses out the window?  I guess it's possible that someone dropped them walking or they were drunk.  My bet is drunk considering how many alcohol bottles we pick up.  Then I saw a First Response pregnancy test box.  Someone was definitely trying to get rid of the evidence.  Again, alcohol may have been involved.  My new route was very clean, but when I hit the old route, it was pretty much the same as yesterday except for the car bumper.  Okay, how do you not pick up your car bumper......unless of course......you are a drunk driver!  I don't listen to music or anything while I'm training, I just make up stories for all the roadside items I encounter. 

Here's my story from today:
Early April: A couple is joy riding with some tequila and has "relations" in their car and the condom breaks.  Out of frustration, the dude throws it out the window, along with the tequila bottle, and his T-shirt.  Fast forward to Thursday night.  The young woman takes a pregnancy test, but doesn't want her family to know, so she gets rid of the test.  She was wearing her glasses when she read the test and became so distraught, she also throws her glasses out.  She meets up with her boyfriend and they share a couple of those big Coors light cans, while she is trying to get some liquid courage.   She tells her boyfriend that they are expecting a bundle of joy and he veers off the road toward a small stone wall and leaves behind his car bumper. He doesn't return for the bumper because he is in shock and...drunk!
To be continued.
