For some reason, I chose to wake up at 4:45 to run with Allie. I had this picture in my head that it would be like running in Narnia, which is probably why I did it and spending time with Allie is a good way to start the day, I recommend it...

So, let's say it was like that. Ahem(this is all true)

I rolled out of bed and landed on a pile of running clothes. In fact, the pile of running clothes on my floor is actually higher than the bed, almost as high as the ceiling. As I lay there, 10 feet above the ground, I suddenly panicked and fell over backwards into my closet. I carefully searched through the closet until I had found some proper attire (10year old hooded sweatshirt), but to my horror I couldn't find my way out. I guess more accurately, I should say that I couldn't tell whether I was out of the closet or not. Such is the state of my bedroom.

After quite a bit of stumbling around I suddenly found myself outside in the snow. I was in a place that I felt was probably Salt Lake City, but there was something different about it. A foot of snow, at least, covered everything! Had that been there the night before? I could not be sure. I ran and now I was in a forest, a forest in the middle of a city! I knew then that I must have at some point crossed into another world. Or perhaps I was still dreaming.

Strange structures loomed in the dark. There was a great concrete slab with lines on it that hinted at a sinister occult purpose, a net hung ominously over it. I passed an ancient manor house. As I passed, one of the windows on the top floor lit up, I ran faster. I passed a child's playground and a ferris wheel. Finally, my destination came into view. I saw a great mountain and a frozen lake beyond. To my horror, I realized that some dark power had erected a wall around the lake and I could see that the entrance was guarded by a cop or possibly some kind of troll

I ducked under the trolls swinging blade and then caught site of polyester clad maiden with shoulder length golden hair.

Anyway, long story short, Allie and I defeated all the trolls and such. There weakness is having people run around and around in very slow circles, turns out.

brilliant!

don't forget about the zombified david bowie that was searching for the not-so-emaciated runners near the fountain of youth...
