10 pretty eventful miles today! Michael, Thom, Parker, and I started at the park and went up to the MCT, and got off the MCT in highland and came back by way of the spinny park. While running, a biker lady got pretty mad at us because apparently we were on the wrong side of the trail, so here's the exchange that happened;

Biker Lady: You know there's a pedestrian side of the trail right? *Very snarky might I add*

Thom: Good thing we aren't pedestrians

Michael: And good thing we can run as fast as you are on your bike!

She sped off after Michael started getting mad.

Haha it was a good time. Back at the park, while we were doing abs, a lady came up to us and said, "hey do you guys want to try a meditation?" What the heck? So we said sure and she led us over to the bridge that goes over the creek, and she told us to sit down with our legs over the side of the bridge, water flowing away from us. She said "I'm going to be quiet for a minute, and I want you guys to look at the water flowing away from you and imagine all your hardships and all the things that are holding you back from reaching your potential flowing away with this water." So then she was quiet and we did as we were told, then she had us come to the other side of the bridge, so the water was flowing towards us. She said "I'm going to be quiet again, but this time I want you to imagine all the good things you want in life and in running flowing into you, with this water." After she sat there for a little bit, she said "alright I'm going to go now but you guys can stay as long as you want."

What on earth?! Lol it was quite the day. Then we ice bathed and went home.
