I was 2 miles into my 6 miler tonight....crankin' a good 8 mpm pace....ZZ Top blazin' in my ear when I come upon a few "wild" baby turkeys. No big deal...I see them all the time on my runs. I really thought they were partidges or something. Who the hell knows??
Anyway, they were so cute all gathered in the middle of the street as I came running up on them. Then OUT OF THE BUSHES comes the mutha turkey and she was NOT happy. I'm tellin you this turkey was a full on big ass turkey!! What the hell?? That turkey came after me pissed off.
I have NEVER had such an experience. And really it wouldn't be blog worthy if it hadn't been for the fact that normally, I get chased by dogs..... and angry drivers or jerks on bikes. But a TURKEY?? AND....it chased me for about 2 min up the road with its wrinkly nasty neck and red goozle all stretched out ready to peck my freakin' leg! I really couldn't believe it was happening to me.
Ok, this really isn't the turkey that chased me....but this is EXACTLY what she looked like. That chase felt like it went on forever.

LMAO! The visual is priceless! I would've freaked out, because I don't think I can outrun a pissed-off turkey.
LOL that is hilarious!!! but scary at the same time! i wouldnt want a turkey chasing me :)
Oh no!
That totally brought back youthful memories of being chased my a gaggle of geese when I was in middle school.
I really would have freaked!
Nice job on those runs.
I'm so glad you're okay. But, now that it is over - that is hilarious. CRAZY too! That would have totally freaked me out.
Nice pace on those runs and congrats on the placing!
