Day 3: 2 miles and an encounter with a mysterious odour...

I woke up this morning from a dream where I was staying at a hotel and my dad bought me a big bear skin coat and I asked him "Dad, don't you think this will attract the real bears to me?" and right as I said that a big grizzly bear came rushing through the doors and the rest of the dream was spent trying to run away through the hotel....
So after shaking that thought, I threw on my running shoes and too tight spandex pants and hit the gravel road outside the cabin.
I was only scheduled to run 2 miles today, so I started off toward Rocky Fork Ranch on the way into Red Lodge.
Just before I hit my mile mark at Rocky Fork Ranch, I suddenly smelled something strange. Imagine a GIANT, wet, dirty dog...Similar to that.
The only thing I could think was....


So, I turned around (very slowly) and queitly started back toward the cabin.
Could it have been a grizzly? Unlikely. But you never knooooooooow.

I am a bit sore today, but the two miles didn't seem so bad! Why didn't I just sign up for the whole marathon?!?!
