Awkward Running Moments

Last night I did a little, easy, ENJOYABLE 3 mile run.  Temperature was just perfect.  Very little traffic.  I felt pretty good and it was a positive, confidence building run.  It was just peaceful .... although a little eventful.

Awkward Running Moment #172

When running, I always carry a little pack with a few items in it (ID, a little money, cell phone).  My daughter was at a friends house and I was expecting her to contact me for a ride home at some point.  So, when I got a text message from my daughter, I stopped to check it.  It said:

What do you mean you're running late?  You're not supposed to come yet, we're out for a walk still.

I thought, "Huh? What is she talking about?"  So I responded, "I never said I'm running late. What are you talking about?".  Then I thought ... hmmm, did I say something????  So I checked my outgoing messages, and see this:

Running late, will be there soon .  Where are you? X Wu o

And I see a few more that have gone out to a few different people.  Whoops!  Lesson learned - lock your keypad before putting your phone into your pack.  One day it's going to pocket dial someone and I'm sure to say something embarrassing.

Then near the end of my run I see my friend's car coming towards me, with my friend leaning out the passenger window waving madly at me.  I assumed it was her and her husband on their way home.  My friends and I are rather ... ummm, comfortable, with each other.  It's a bit of a joke between us and completely meaningless.  (don't judge - hahhaa).

So as the car approaches and my friend is waving all over, I grab my shirt to flip it up.  Only to get part way and realize, "WAIT! That's not her husband driving, that's her 17 yr old son!!!!"   Eeeeeekkkkkkkkk!!!!  Poor kid.  No child should be subjected to that.  HAHAHA  Although he has known me since he was about 5 and his Mom is at least as crazy (if not more-so) than me.

Now, to clarify things, I was wearing a sports bra under my tank so no one was going to see anything anyway.  AND, my tank also has a built in shelf bra, so again, no one was going to see anything.  As well, chances that I would have lifted my tank ALL the way up are pretty darn slim.  But still, it was pretty funny and I think we were all a little shocked.

Made for some entertainment anyway.
