I think I want a new name. Many trail runners acquire a nickname as they traverse the wild mud and rocky paths that we love. I know the name needs to be earned, but I am offering a list of suggestions in case you want to start calling me one. What about Metta World Peace? That is a pretty cool moniker! I like the world. I like peace! What? It is already taken? Yeah, and didn't he just get fined like a kabillion dollars for elbowing some other tall dude in the head? C'mon, Mr. Peace- seriously? Ok, back to the name quest. I fall every time I am on the trail - never fails! Day Tripper? Slip? Tumbler? I have lost four toenails - Hamster Toes? (if you have lost a toenail then you know that is what your toes look like sans nails!) I am not a fast trail runner, so maybe Slug? I am always getting lost - I truly think that without my friend who is a great navigator I would still be in a casino in Vegas (and that trip was SIX years ago!!!) Maybe the Wanderer? Confusion? I am poking fun at myself - but I really do like some of the trail names that I have heard out there. It is so interesting to read the stories behind the names. Any suggestions?
Oh, by the way - 13 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO!!! I like Day Tripper the best...
ReplyDelete13 days............OMG, I actually can't wait for you ;)
It's crazy how fast that time went by!!
DeleteI am laughing out loud here because that could be me and my trail buddy .... We are lost and tripping every single trail run. I don't know how many times the words " I think we go this way, wait, I'm not sure" have come out of my mouth!
ReplyDeleteMakes trail running even more adventurous!!
