Runner Beware

I still have to post pictures and blog about last week but I thought I would share this quick little story about my morning run.

I am training for my 1/2 marathon and today is my running day. I have to run 4 miles today so I figure I would run this route because I have clocked it and it's 4 miles. As I am running this little black bird is chirping about me like crazy. It's on a fence post and it keeps chirping and moving along with me. I get to the top of a hill and I decided that I would cross the street and run on the other side of the street so I wouldn't bother this bird again. I am running and another black little bird is chirping and flying all around me. It's swooping down towards me as I am running. I am screaming and trying to run away from this stupid little bird. It doesn't leave me alone and I am afraid that it's going to peck me or something. I'm running away from it, screaming and trying to swoosh it away. I'm pretty sure that the cars that are driving by me are getting a kick as they see me running away from this bird that keeps diving towards me. I figure I would walk to see if it would leave me alone. I walk and the bird is gone. I go back to running and I'm mad because the stupid bird has messed my running up. I get to my subdivision entrance but I have to keep going cause I haven't reached 4 miles yet. I usually run to this church that is at the bottom of this hill but the city made a new road so I figured I would go down this road. I also didn't want to tell with anymore birds. I'm running and I get to the end of the road and lo and behold another black little bird is chirping at me and diving at me again! I'm screaming and cussing at this bird because this is now the 3rd bird that has done this to me on my run. I walk and the bird stops flying towards me. I look back and it's on the road just chirping away like it's yelling at me or something. I run every other day and this has never happened to me in the mornings ever! I have no clue if what I was wearing made the dumb little birds made or what. I was just afraid that these birds were going to peck me by the way they were flying towards me. I'm kind of afraid for Thursdays run to see what happens. It makes me want to take a sling shot and shot little rocks at these vicious little birds.
