Okay, so my latest quest is running. I've been doing this for about 2 weeks now and it has been going really good and I am really enjoying it. It makes me feel so good and so full of energy. I run about 3 miles, and I have been trying to go every day, but some days it just doesn't work out. But each day I feel like I am a little better and can go a little farther!
So here is my latest problem..... SNAKES!!! The last three nights I have gone I have had to deal with a snake in the road! If any of you know me, you know that I am TERRIFIED of snakes. They are pure EVIL if you ask me. There should not be anything that can move without legs! That's just plain creepy and wrong.
Wed. when I was running there was a HUGE rattlesnake in the middle of the road. I literally about stepped on it. Jeremy thought I should have just jumped over it... Oh heck no! I turned right around and burned it as fast as I could! Then I had to keep turning around while running because I just knew that it was chasing after me! Ya, that's how creeped out I am of snakes!
So Thurs. I was scanning the road very carefully as I was running and of course there was another one! This time it was a tiny little baby blowsnake, but none the less, a snake is a snake! I very cautiously went around it, and then ran as fast as I could.
Once again tonight as I was on a peacefull run, what did I see stretched out across half the road??? Another HUGE blowsnake! What the heck??? Here I am trying to do something good and I am being tortured with snakes! But, I am not going to let them stop me! I am determined to keep going.
My little brother Kyle told me I need to start packin (a gun that is). So next time you see me running, I may have one strapped on! (Not really) My dad told me that he would start patrolling on his 4-wheeler for me before I go.
I am just wondering..... why are there snakes on the earth anyway?

You have got to be kidding me....AGAIN! See yet another reason to add to my list of reasons you shouldn't run! I bet Derrick would let you swing by and get the pistol if ya need it.
I hear you I HATE snakes and I would probably stop running if I saw 3 in a row that is discusting!!!!!
Gurl, between the snakes and the mountain lions I'd be staying home. I never thought I'd be the one to say it's too dangerous to be out in Meadow! When I make the mental of you high-tailing it away while looking over your shoulder, I can't quit laughing. That is funny, REAL funny!
EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
Ok.. A gun is just not going to do it. No joking, the ONLY way I would walk/jog whatever down snake road again if I were you--would be if I had someone on a 4-wheeler clearing the path...
That is sick, and sick and wrong..
Walking to the cemetery once down there with Mo, we saw a dead one, and after that - I always check that road.
Why does there have to be evil in the world? They really are the devil to me. Even the Bible says so. Opposition in all things, but why snakes????
Good for you on running...I'm proud of ya girl! As for the snakes...you can have 'em - the only good snake is a dead snake!
I have been trying to run too but am such a slacker. I'm not at 3 miles by any means. Anyway I agree that snakes are nasty and I can't believe you keep running into them. Yikes.
You crack me up!!!! I live in God's country where there are no Rattlesnakes at least. All you have to worry about here are mountain lions and maybe a bear or two depending on what canyon you go up. I prefer them over snakes.
Simple solution = Don't run! I don't know why you are running anyway. You are already a size zero. (Like my support?) I am just jealousy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep up the hard work you look great.
I have to say I agree with Brandy! At least she can always be honest and tell you how it is!
Hey Lisa
I got your blog from brandy. I havent seen you in forever. I dont get to fillmore much maybe once or twice a year. I hear you on the snakes right after we moved into our house we killed around 30 snakes in my basement. We finally figured out where they were coming in and stopped them. I almost had to leave my husband becuase of them Just kidding the thought entered my mind though
I agree. There is no purpose for snakes. I hate them! I think the gun thing is a good idea.... :)
I hate snakes! I would give up running so you are already doing better than I would in the same situation. I would laugh my butt off to see you "packing heat" while you are running. =)
Wow1 What a woman! I am a wimp, I run inside on an eliptical so that I don't have to deal with anything else living...humans included! I hate people to see me exercize!
