Me: I ran by your house the other day!
Boss: Cool, did you see the coyote, it’s been hanging around.
Me: Um, no, but now I will be much more nervous about running on the Lakewalk!

Great. Now I’m going to feel super safe running the upper part of the Lakewalk after dark. I guess I should be thankful to her for the warning! I’m running out of reliable routes, between wild animals, unshoveled sidewalks, and poorly plowed streets. I’m starting to wonder what will break me first this winter: the cold or the monotony?
