I got in a fight with a tree root.

Tree root 1, Jenny 0.  Rematch tomorrow?!?

I got in a fight with a tree root today. And I found out that even the bugs don’t like me anymore. Boo hoo. Poor Jenny. Even the bugs don’t want to eat her anymore.

I have no clue why I posted this picture — its obviously way over-exposed. (Ok, in truth I meant to stick another picture here and I am just too lazy to switch them now.)

So I went running in the park like usual — this time on the bridle trail. Now the bridle trail really doesn’t have any tree roots — some loose rocks and stuff, but nothing dangerous. But I couldn’t stick to the nice tame bridle trail. Nooooo, Jenny had to go off cross country.

There’s a path that runs roughly parallel to the bridle trail but is closer to the river and is pretty much a single track. That’s what I took off on today.

All well and good until you guessed it. A tree root jumped up and I went tumbling.

(Oh and here is a better not so overexposed picture of Jenny. Jenny is all arms and legs. hahaha.)

I just scraped my knee a little bit. But it bled some. I thought being that close to the river I would attract bugs but apparently not even the bugs want to bite me anymore. I guess chemo tastes bad to them. Finally. A good side effect of chemo.

The highlight of the run — other than my oh so graceful fall — was seeing a pair of wood ducks.
