I was in a marathon where a runner ahead of me collided with a deer. Apparently this happens quite a bit.

Actually I had an animal encounter this morning too. I was running through the neighborhood and this little bunny jumped out in front of me and started its zig zag evasive trick and I was practically stepping on it each step of the way.. I thought.. Bunny you are never going to make it if a real predator shows up if I can keep up.. The little guy was so cute.

I have scared the sh*t out of a deer before.... literally came around a corner and the deer and I both froze. It turned, pooped, and ran away. I've also almost stepped on an armadillo.
The funniest run I had was on a trail. Up ahead of me a road runner bird chased a mouse or other small creature across the trail. A second later the road runner ran back across the trail as it was chased by a cat. Ten seconds later the cat ran back across the trail chased by a dog. I slowed down because I wasn't sure I wanted to see what was going to chase the dog back across the trail. |

At what point did you think "when did I end up in a cartoon?"

My husband and I ran into a possum (I think?!) Thursday morning. It was very early and still dark out so it was hard to tell what it was exactly. I screamed and started hauling a$$ because I thought it was chasing us. HA! One way to get me to run faster!!

I did the 10 mile Great South Run and was overtaken by a lorry pulled by 6 army guys then by an elderly blind runner with his running partner. Confirmed how slow I was!

When I lived in my old house, I was occasionally joined on my laps of the local park by a little Jack Russell dog. No amount of calling from its owner, or faster-running by me, seemed to get it away from me, or me from it. I nicknamed it "the pace-setting dog" and after a bit the owner (who was not a runner) just waited and let it do a couple of laps with me, after which they met up again and went home.

grasshoppers running through a field, they land on the back side of my legs and crawl around, weird how they can catch you when your running, very creepy feeling with there scratchy legs crawling around.

I was jogging up the road to my cabin and came face to face with a mama black bear and cubs! Thank goodness she just stood up and stared at me, but boy oh boy, did I ever scurry my fanny up the roadside embankment on all fours in an amazingly fast hurry, ripping and tearing through the ferns and underbrush. 'Bout had a heart attack lol.

I was walking on a trail one afternoon during lunch, and when I turned around to go back to the office, the trail was blocked by wild turkeys. They are mean things, and I have a fear of birds to begin with! Ended up having to wait a few minutes until they cleared out, and then it was all good!
