Yo Quiero Taco Bell...um..Water!

Yesterday, I had the day off to run some errands. I had some free time, so it was a perfect day for a run! I went to Lake Murray for a relaxing 6-miler. Lake Murray is where I first started running about a decade ago, back when I could only jog 2 miles, then I had to stop and walk back to my car. It has always been one of my favorite running spots.

Sometimes in the course of running, you come across weird situations. Last summer, it was my run along Fiesta Island, where I encountered a half-dozen people riding horses! I had to dodge piles of horse poop the entire way. Yesterday was also one of those times. I was more than halfway through my run, was out of water and decided to stop at the drinking fountain at the Little League fields. When I got there, I found myself standing behind a woman who had her TWO CHIHUHUAS STANDING IN THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN taking a drink...and licking the end of the spigot! She paid no attention to me, even though I was standing there dripping with sweat, holding an empty water bottle. After nearly 2 minutes of patiently waiting, I cleared my throat, she turned around and said "oh, do you need some water"? I wish I had my camera with me! Oh well, you get the idea from my crude sketch.
