Well, after spending a week in Tampa on training (oh, the sacrifices we make!), I was ready to pound the pavement this weekend with my Mom for one final training walk!
Yup...this is it, boys and girls, this weekend is the Walk. I'm taking Friday off for registration and safety videos, etc. And the walk starts Saturday.
Of course, we're all eyeing the weather and Isabel...getting nervous.
Highlight of yesterdays walk, though, was....
Two cups of coffee meant that I had to go to the bathroom really REALLY bad! Being out in the country, it was as simple as finding our "designated pee spot" (long story). Got there and took a different route in behind the rocks where I found a jewelly box, full of jewellry and money! Well, I really had to go to the bathroom so, without looking around for the bad guys or dead bodies, did my thing and then got my Mom.
I called the police when we got back home. This road, however, is a bit of a policing nightmare. The east of the road belongs to one region and the west side to the another. I called the east side since that's the side my parents live in. They called the west side region who called back for better directions.
They found the box, however, thanked me for calling in and are now tracking down the owners of the box.
I'm not sure what impressed me more. Being honest enough to leave the money or the fact that I continued on my original mission to go to the bathroom even though I could have been in danger.
Moral of the story? When you gotta go, you gotta go!
