There is this path just out in my back yard that leads to an opening in the woods which I call the Black Forest.I really hate running through these woods at early morning.
The opening alone looks like the black inner depths of hell. So I take my dog Tasha (full siberian husky) along with me I wouldn't run without her. Anyway as im running my heart races. Not just because im jogging, but because the moon cast shadows and when the trees move they make noises.
It's about 2 miles and right at the mid point when the path circles back around there is this clearing which consist of a civil war cemetery (theres also a creepy fog mist that hangs above this place).
There is 52 stones and 23 crosses. I guess the crosses are for the unknown sense the crosses have no names. By the time I hit this mid point im terrified to the point where im in full sprint. I really hate them woods but doing this for the past 2 months I have lost 20 pounds.
It's amazing what the body can do when the mind is petrified with fear.
