Oh yes, it is a real thing and it could have possibly happened to your two favorite tri-babies!! Last night Caryn and I headed up to the Greenway, a lovely trail in the burbs. I had just returned from Knoxville, no comments, I know we got destroyed and Caryn had just left her new BFF at the Bare Essentials counter at Lenox. We arrived in time to ride a mile or so with Caryn's dad, who I'm pretty sure thinks we are the slowest bikers on earth :) We broke off to ride the remaining 13 miles and got to about mile 9 and it started getting a little dusky, cut to 15 minutes later and it was totally dark, especially in the wooded areas. We rode as fast as we could the remaining 3 miles, while encountering two deer, one bunny rabbit, and two people (which were the scariest in the dark). We finally made it back to the car and discussed all of our fears as we were riding, everything from people jumping out of the bushes to someone acting like they were stranded to lure us in.
The moral of the story...don't be stupid, like we were, and try to get in the full time before it gets dark. Just turn around and save it for another day. All in all its a funny story but at the time we definately thought we were going to be written about in the paper.
On a seperate note, I want to give a shout out to Mom Mindy for making some delicious spaghetti, salad and bread last night. It really hit the spot and is great to have a real meal, especially while watching the Emmies!! Thanks Ellin family for taking me in!!!
Until next time.....

if someone had come out of the woods i was fully prepared to drop kick them and then finish it off with a roundhouse kick to the face.
Crystal-- you are welcome to spaghetti (or ANY other meals) at our house! We love seeing you guys after a training session.
But...BE CAREFUL out there when it's dark! (spoken like a true mom!). We are so proud of both of you and can't wait until 10/5.
I'm hoping you'll do more so we get to see Caryn and her friend on Sunday nights!
Mom Mindy
I swear....I read this post TWICE, trying to figure out how it related to taking naps. Like adults, taking a nap, during the day. Lawd. Love you, Momma C. You and Caryn keep up the hard work!
