Today has been... holy cow.. !
literally lol. but i'm getting ahead of myself.
This morning nick took us to his favorite running spot, which is pretty much awsome. but very hilly... which was not a particularly smart choice for the first long-ish run of the season, but it's okay. It was absolutely beautiful.. there were streams and rivers and tons of hills and even horses! Beth had a speed workout this afternoon, so she went 45 minutes or so, but I headed back out and tackled two very fierce hills to round it out to an hour.
After we got back to nick's, we went shooting, which beth has been wanting to do for years now. haha it was quite teh experience. i'd shot a gun before, so i just sat off to the side and watched beth try it out with nick's help. We were shooting clay pigeons (which don't actually look like pigeons, but that's another story), which one person had to fling out to the field for the other to shoot. Anyway, nick went first to show beth how it's done, and she was supposed to throw the target a couple hundred feet out into the field. if only i could have known that it would be more dangerous than giving her the actual gun... instead of throwing it out, she accidentally flung it sideways, mere inches from my head, smack into the back of nick's truck where it promptly shattered into a million pieces. It was absolutely halarious. after i realized i was still alive.
After shooting, i fell asleep, and when i wake up i find out we're going to a dairy farm. i thought they were kidding, but no... we actually went to hang out with the cows, and farmer joe made us milk them! it was gross! but they were kinda cute cows :)
We tried to go for another run this afternoon, and beth attempted some speed to get ready for her race in a few weeks, but both of us were quite unsuccessful after this morning's grand adventure. So instead we came home, ate lots of food, and made smores on the fire. much better option.
