Oh I thought maybe Sully stopped by the swamp to post a goal for NB in the weekly racing thread.
Runners run.
Pick it and stick it. I'm too superstitious for my own good.
"run" "to" "eat"
Pick it and stick it.
this also works with boogers.

The King of Beasts
So I went to track and it was cancelled or delayed due to Baseball. I headed on home. I still wanted to get speed in because today was the day that worked with my schedule. I thought about treadmill but I've been doing that way too much this week. I even thought about doing the workout in a neighborhood, but I figured I would just have an old fashioned Sully let it rip night. I felt very comfortable and ran my 9.5 mile loop in which I add a half mile through a business complex to make it 10. Went on through there (as I have a dozen plus time this year) and all of a sudden a security SUV comes out of the middle of nowhere and almost hits me. I side step around it and continue on. Then he gets back in and trys to pin me against the guard rail. I now realize he is trying to get me. I yell "I'm leaving" and he yells " get back here you fucking asshole I'm going to beat your ass" So now I'm trying to high tail it out of here as it does not seem that I'm wanted. There are two more guys in front of me which I made an Adrian Peterson move around and they start chasing me on foot, which surprisingly doesn't last long. Now I'm out of there area and on the side street to the business complex and the guy in the SUV comes flying down the street and tries to pin me against the guard rail again. I yell " I'm leaving stop. you are going to hit" then he drives next to me and is screaming that he will kill me if I come back again and how he is going to get the cops to come get me and all this. So needless to say I had some extra adrenaline for the remainder of the run. Good lord I'm too old for this shit.

...which surprisingly doesn't last long...
HAAAAHHA.
Scully, I'd like to share with you my experience of being chased off a golf course, which I was leaving. Okay, I didn't go as politely as you did.
Rent-a-cops are awesome.

Theirs even more to the story, but someone told me its tax season, so he's busy, laaaaaaaaame
Holy shit. Too bad there isn't video.
What office park was that? We need to do a group run through there.
I'd consider driving up. Hey how 'bout we pool our cash and fly up A1 and Kool Aid?
MTA: CLICK! (My powers have not weakened!)

Running is so fucking cool.
I know, RIGHT?

haha "What are you the effin bus driver?"
That is one of those quotes I hope to reuse in this lifetime.
So my story continues: I got back and was what do I do now? In my college days (at 195lbs) this would have been a worse altercation, but there is clearly an inverse relationship between fighting and running, and let's just say at 150lbs, my fighting days are behind me. So I slept on it and tried to let it go.
Next morning, I woke up still a little fired up about it so I did what any middle aged accountant would do: I sent an email to the owner of the building. I was basically like look, "clearly I was trespassing, lesson learned, but you got yourself a true legit loose cannon working for you and if it were my building, I would want to know." I'm thinking this goes nowhere.
He responds back like 15 seconds "Call me ASAP."
I call "Joe" and he was like look you come back whenever you want, my wife is a runner and if this happened to her, I would murder the security guy so don't think this won't be dealt with. He said he was going to pull security footage and see what happened and he would get back to me.
Couple day later he called me to let me know that I come back whenever I wanted because he no longer had any employees working for him who would engage in such behavior.

Coolest story ever.
But please don't call yourself middle aged because that would mean I'm ready to move to Florida, start wearing white pants and white shoes and eating dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
