Are you a Pothead Focker?

If you haven't seen "Meet the Parents" then you won't understand the title very much. Rent the movie, it is hilarious.

I went up to Mohican today and met Luc for a final big run before the Mohican Trail Run in June.

We met at the covered bridge at 7AM for a run on the Red/Green Loops both totalling 21 miles. The run seemed effortless and to be honest, that big hill on the green trail seemed like childsplay to me. I remember the first time I went up it. OMG! didn't think I was going to make it. During our water stop we noticed a jug of water and Pringles close to our water. Oh man. The temptation to eat some Pringles was almost over whelming. We didn't take any but later found out it was Ron Dukes and Cheryl Splain. They told us we could have had some...ARRGH!

After a quick gorging of food, we hit the Orange loop and planned on dropping out of the trail to give us 31 miles total. Luc had had enough and I couldn't talk him into a run on the Purple Loop (4 miles). I changed shoes and off I went.

The park was full of people out enjoying the sweet weather we had. Some normal, some not so normal. Some looked like they escaped from Prison, others looked like they will soon be in prison. All were very nice and that's what counts. I guess. I had to dodge a lot of small kids and all the moron parents.
I started down the Little Lyons Falls section and wondered why it was so cloudy in the gorge. About the same time I got the smell of marijuana wafting my way. This was not good as it seemed like the forest was on fire! Maybe 5 minutes later, I ran into the idiots with like 10 kids and about 6-7 adults. All of them had blood shot eyes and the "Stupid Pot Smoker Look" on their faces. They were at least friendly and I went on to my smoke choking run with the two handed climb up the roots. I ran into anther guy just yards away from where I ran into the others. He too was smoking a big doobie. I said" What is with all these people smoking weed"? He said: "What better place to do it at man". Well, I couldn't disagree with him. The place is gorgeous but smoke your crap someplace I don't have to breath it in!

Continuing the run, I circled back to the covered bridge and decided: "Hey, I'm gonna do it again". I was feeling incredible. I felt as if I was so high on endorphins.....or was it from Gaylord "Pothead" Focker back at the falls? Didn't know, but all the pain in my body disappeared and it was time for more miles. The second time around it was starting to get a little dark. I was bookin it to get back to the covered bridge. I decided I wanted more miles. I simply couldn't stop running. Weird!
I started off on the Pleasant Hill Dam trail and ran up the side of the earthen dam, then down the road a ways and back around to connect to the Little Lyons falls trail. This gave me a total of 42 miles for the run.
I was happy about that and decided to not camp out and run tomorrow as I had put in enough miles. I was gonna be so sore and decided to sleep in my own super soft bed instead of the cold hard ground. I received a nice blister on the ball of my foot today. It will be a gusher when I pop it. I'm thinking of getting those moldable shoe inserts to see if they would help.

Totals: 42 Miles: Mohican Trails.
