Back With A Vengeance


It’s been a while since I last posted, so I figured it was only appropriate that my first post in a week talk about the awkward moment of my week. 

On the trail today, I was noticing a lot of these puppies.

Upsetting
 Oddly enough, I never saw anyone running around with a CT flag on their buns, but here in Texas there’s a ton of state pride.  The state of Texas is all over beer bottles, cans, cars, chotchkies and most importantly, people’s crotches.

But that wasn’t the awkward part; I can get over some uncomfortably placed flags in the name of some good old Lone Star spirit, this was so much worse.

Today a man in very short, very small shorts jogged in front of me while I was power walking.  Yes, power walking.  After a few moments he suddenly turned around to face me and began jogging backwards.  This is not good trail ettiquite- where was I supposed to look!?  The shorts!  His weird skinny legs!  I was so uncomfortable.  After a few minutes he finally turned around but good Lord, those were some of the longest moments of my life.

And that’s that, welcome to the awkwardness.
