An interesting Saturday

Today has been and interesting Saturday.  I’m surprised I can still walk :)   The morning starts with a nice 5 mi stroll in the park at a cross country meet.  Once finished with that fun race I race back to Medaille.  At Medaille I pick up some students who signed up for a horse back riding program.  So we drive out to the farm, get on the saddled horses and continue our adventure.  After the amazing trail ride we head back to Medaille.  A few of us grab some food at the dinning center and then on my way out some friends invite me to play some basketball.  Wearing workboots at the time, I figure playing barefoot would be fun.  Basketball goes great, I think I’m done for the night ready to saddle down to an quite night, maybe a movie.  And then….. A friend calls.  Her boy friend’s car broke down in East Aurora and he needs a ride to Medaille.  On the way there we only make 1 wrong turn but we were saved by the GPS once we found out more precisely where he is.  We find the boyfriend; let him get into the car as we’re stopped at a green light.  A minute after we started driving away the boyfriend asks if he thinks it’s alright to part in a 2 hour park zone for the night.  We immediately pull the 2nd U-turn of the night and we’re on our way back to his car.  Of course the nearest parking lot is off the next street down a fairly large hill.  So we start pushing his car backwards (because that’s the way it was oriented) and there I am moving with the car staying down hill of the car so the car does not go down the hill to fast trying to push forward as hard as I can in flip flops.  I might also mention the car had bad breaks :)   So we drive back to Medaille and arrive safely with no further incident.  With all this exercise I know I’ll sleep well tonight!
