mr. salt truck

So...I just talked to Kate and she told me to post all my silly running emails from the past few months...so here it goes...

Here's little running story for ya.....ahem.....

So, I go for a 5 mile run on a not-so-lovely winter morning. It was very slippery. I ran down 159 into downtown Cville. I was on the sidewalk. It was very close to the road. I am reciting my "Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall" prayer and concentrating on the ground. Something makes me look up. I see Mr. Salt Truck. He decides to greet me with a big HELLO, HAVE A MOUTH FULL OF SALT AS I SHOOT IT OUT ON YOUR FACE! Good morning to you too Mr. Salt Truck. Mr. Salt Truck has impeccable timing. Mr. Salt Truck continues on his merry way. Mr. MCT Bus immediately follows Mr. Salt Truck. He decides to greet me with a big HELLO, HAVE A NICE LITTLE SALTY ICE WATER SHOWER! Mr. MCT Bus was also so kind as to have a "Happy Holidays" message on his route screen as he graciously gave me my first shower of the day. Thank you Mr. MCT Bus, and "Happy Holidays" to you too!

After I got to work, I also had a visit from Mr. Tow Truck. My car broke down...for the fourth time....in four months. Mr. Tow Truck and I are friends. I think I may invite him to come home with me next time so he can beat up Mr. Salt Truck and Mr. MCT Bus. I wonder what kind of damage his towing hook can do....hmmmmm.....these are the things I will ponder on my next run.


My running advice today is....stay away from Mr. Salt Truck and Mr. MCT Bus....and if you can, Mr. Tow Truck (No offense to Mr. Tow Truck, he is a very nice truck).
