That was SOOOOOOO Cool

[BamaEd1]

I did a long run yesterday in preparation for my upcoming 1/2. The absolutely coolest thing happened. I was running at Maxwell Air Force Base and as I got near the end of the main runway (on a road that circles it), a flight of F-16 fighter jets came in and landed. I was right under them and felt the wind as they passed so low overhead. It was like being at an air show.

What is the coolest thing that has happened to ya'll on a non-race run that you totally weren't expecting?

Twice I have found money. Once it was $5 and another time it was $15. Still looking for the owners. Not really.

During my all-time worst run ever. The 18-miler of 06. We were running and thre were all these people with telescopes. No idea.... On teh way back, a man with a telescope asked if we'd like to see a peregrine falcon. We said sure, two telescopes cleared away and we goo to look. Very cool! FUnny to have such a cool memory on our worst run ever.

I can't think of anything really cool about any of my runs but I did enjoy riding my bike through Sheppard Air Force Base for the Hotter 'N Hell 100. It was so neat seeing the airmen out cheering us on as we rode through. And, seeing the big planes - C130's I think. Riding through the base was the highlight of my ride.
