Death Run

Bekah is in Davis for the weekend and we ran 5 miles this morning...well almost. We really thought we were going to die a couple of times and had to take a couple walking breaks because the sun was beating down on us and making us feel like we were crossing the Sahara Dessert! When we saw a buzzard sitting a top a poll Bekah exclaimed, "Ah cool!!! Look! Its a buzzard!! Wow! He's soo cool! Look how big he is! Wow, I wonder what he's hunting for!" And then I glanced towards the sky and realized there were more buzzards circling in the sky...waiting for us to die!!! Bekah's excitement soon turned to fear which only motivated us to continue running.

We had decided to try a new route, one I had never done before. We followed some roads that are mostly used for researchers and farmers, so I think we had a total of 2 cars pass us the whole hour we were running. Thus it was a bit scary, we just hoped we made it through!

When we finally made it back to the olive grove and the shade we both were seeing mirages of cool welcoming pools of water that we wanted to dive into. We resisted, we knew what was happening and that they were all lies!!!!

The shade brought back our sanity and we made it back to my apartment safe if not totally sound. We both collapsed in front of my fan and slowly came back from the brink of death! After which Bekah says she refuses to ever run in Davis again if its over 80.

After, I made delicious pancakes and we drank Ola Loa to replace our electrolytes that we lost in our death run.
