Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Another 6 miles today, muscle are feeling extra tight in the left glute and hammy. Went from will's up to the mouth of the canyon. I was going to go further but saw some guy standing on the path in street clothes just staring at me. I stopped and stretched my claves deciding if I wanted to go up past this guy. He then bent down and started putting stuff in his pockets, it looked like rocks. I didn't have a good feeling about any of this. Then this guy on a bike came down and passed him, he stopped and told me that guy and a big long knife and to not go up any further. That was enough for me to turn around and go back. I did call the police and reported this. Got back to wills and added on another mile. Got home and stretched and did 45 mins of pilates.

Yikes! Good call on following your gut and thankfully the biker was helpful. Glad nothing happened.

Thank you for reporting him. I hope the other people who saw him did too. I hope you got a good look and gave a good description so they can find him. I've never seen anyone with a knife before. I've had people pop out of the bushes after me, had people obviously drugged out try and detain/talk to me, and a weirdo in a truck follow me with his dog and allowed his dog to attack mine. But a knife? WOW, I am so grateful you have good instincts, and thank goodness for that biker. There have been so many homeless type people attacking runners around here. I'll take you to Bob's Army Navy if you want. Not that mace or a switchblade are the perfect weapons, but they are better than nothing if you're caught off guard. I am so glad you are ok. I hope someone finds him and gets him off the street soon.

Oh my goodness! This is why I love running with our group. What a creep. I bet your pace back to Wills was lightning fast.
