A windy run
So I am powering through my run today that I don't want to be on in the first place because of the 20+ mph winds. However, I skipped a run earlier this week due to the wind, so I am determined not to the let the wind win my battle. The first half is perfect. I ran with the wind. In fact, I think the wind pushed me because at times I felt like I was flying. The second half has brutal! Extreme wind coming straight at me. Unfortunately, that is the only way back home, so I have to power through it. I felt like I was pushing a brick wall for close to 2 miles straight. I could feel the people passing me in their cars laughing at me as I make what feels like zero progress forward but yet looks like I am putting out 100% more energy than normal. As I turn the last corner and see my finish line only 4 blocks away, I feel comfort knowing what I had accomplished. I also noticed a little old man, probably in his 70's, running directly in my path, about 1/2 a block in front of me. I catch up to him, only about 3 feet behind him, but realize I don't need to try passing him because my finish line is so close. Unfortunately, this little old man, didn't know that I was directly behind him when he blew a snot-rocket that was caught in the wind and forced directly into my face! I have never been more disgusted!

Ok, please tell me that this is a late April Fool's Day joke...because, if not, that is just disgusting! I think I would have puked. Did he ever realize what he did?!
Hahahaha!

Nice work finishing the run, by the way.
Oh! That is the most horrible thing I've ever heard. Ewwwww!
