Instead of doing my usual park run, which is always good for seeing a few hotties, I was a dumbass and decide to take a run through the hood.  No, seriously.  I figured hitting a few blocks in the hood would give me some extra motivation for time, speed, and distance.<\/p>\n<p>Good grief, little did I know that I was right, and I was in for a real eye opening treat.  Right off the bat, one of the locals was working a corner.  Of course, I am ignorant and na\u00efve, so at first I did not really realize he was \u201cworking,\u201d waiting for potential buyers.  By the time I looped around the block, he was on the opposite corner, talking to a fellow in truck.<\/p>\n<p>As the truck pulled away, I the dude asked me a couple of times if I need some weed.  Let\u2019s be honest, and all it for what it is.  I did not really expect a local to be working the corners, much less making me an offer for a smoke.  Sunday morning \u2026 offered a lefty?  Seriously?  No joke.<\/p>\n<p>The same sort of scene repeated itself a few blocks over.  Two dudes this time.  Understand I am not really scared, but starting to get a little nervous.  Kind of like bad idea jeans.  No harm no foul, but another offer, and the adrenaline kicked in.  Needless to say after a head-knob and a \u201cw-sup,\u201d I was flying.<\/p>\n<p>A hood run was the perfect \u201cget up and go\u201d for getting back in a routine.  There was no way on God\u2019s green Earth that I was going to slow down, stop and rest.  Doubt I will do that again anytime soon, but what a rush!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I decided that I wanted a change in scenery for my morning run.
