After about a mile, I am running by the zoo in the shadow of the double rainbow, turn a corner, and CRASH headlong into a woman runner.
When we get up, I realize it's my next door neighbor (we live like 30miles from this park!!!). She is there doing a hash (a run with beer) and invites me to join her. Since I can't find my group I say sure. So we're running along talking (in the shadow of the double rainbow), and she says why don't you come to the end of the run with me (they have a party with beer and food at the end of the runs). So I say sure why not. It's in the old train museum where I guess some of the other hashers work. And they have it open for just the runners. So we get beers and she starts touring me around the museum.
Then she asks me how the family is doing, she hasn't seen us much lately. I tell her that me and W are separated, the kids are doing well, etc. etc. She says oh really, me and my husband are getting divorced too. Then I feel her eyeing me up and down. We're like in this back dark corner of the train museum. She starts with crazy eye contact and saying I should come over to talk about stuff with her and starts touching me. So I say, u know neighbor I really should be going,my running group may be looking for me cause I txt'ed them. She hugs me and repeats that I should come over to talk and I get the hell out of Dodge.
I run back to the starting point of the run and my running group is there. They ask where I was. I answered, "I was in the back of the train museum drinking hash beer surrounded by model trains getting hit on by my divorcing next door neighbor in the shadow of a double rainbow."
