running fiasco

(This is a picture of us running. Janelle is the one in the bra, Jen in the middle and I am the blurred blonde)

This morning a couple friends and I went for a run. We are doing this 10k on Saturday so we thought it would be good to practice the route a couple times. We took 2 cars and left one at point A and the other at point B. It was a good little morning run down to the parked car at the end of the route.This is when the fun starts. Janelle realizes she left her keys in my car at point A miles and miles away. So with 15 minutes to get home to husbands that needed to go to work and kids that needed to get ready for school we had to think fast. Really our only option was to run back the miles we came to the car. So that is what we started to do but the fastest way back was up the steepest longest hill EVER and the closer that hill came the more desperate we were! So we stuck out our thumbs in hopes of hitching a ride. Now I'm not one for hitch hiking. The last time I hitch hiked was probably at my home town in P canyon when I was 17 stranded covered in mud and delusional from a night of camping with no sleep. (to my partners in crime on this adventure what were we thinking? ha ha). So with desperation in our eyes we stuck out our thumbs like old pros and flagged down a very nice lady that passed us by but then decided to stop. I think we were all jumping up and down as if we hit the jackpot. We hopped in and I sat in the back with a dog that looked like the one pictured below. And the first thing this nice lady says is "I am sorry he loves armpits, I don't know why." Perfect..... just Perfect, I am sitting next to a dog that likes armpits and I am wearing a tank top. Needless to say this little white dog with a St. Bernard sized tongue licked my armpit all the way to my car no matter how hard i discretely tried to make him stop. I had to sit there smile and take it because after all the nice lady was was giving us a ride. Janelle tried to make things better by telling me "at least you don't have to shower the dog just licked off all your sweat" Nice try Janelle but I don't know what is worse in life than smelling like a mixture between sweat and dog breath. So thanks to the nice lady who owns a hot dog joint in town and her armpit loving dog, our luck turned around and we were only a few minutes late getting home. Looks like we need to go and buy a few hundred hot dogs from her now. We will forever be in debt. What a way to start a day!
