I do that more often, but this time was a little different than usual. From a big skate park, I run a loop of about five kilometers through the neighborhood. It\u2019s all mountain paths, with the occasional bit of asphalt. After about a kilometer, I came across a group of sheep. Just on the public road. There were about fifteen of them, I think, and five were little ones. Cute. I stopped for a moment and grabbed my phone to take a picture. One sheep walked up to me, and I thought, &#8216;Oh, how nice, I\u2019ll pet him&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, I saw the sheep in much higher definition, and the rest of the surroundings blurred. I could only see that one sheep, and it was quite clear is wasn&#8217;t a sheep, it was a ram and I especially noticed its two enormous horns. Oh. At the speed of light, I understood that he needed to defend his offspring (from me), that I could easily avoid a risk of bodily harm, and that I\u2019d better keep running. I started jogging again, and the angry ram came after me. What?! I sped up, fueled by adrenaline, and the ram finally stopped chasing me.<\/p>\n<p>So in the end, a boring running route still gave me a fun story, and a nice adrenaline boost every now and then must also be healthy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The kids were happily playing, the mothers were chatting away, and I went for a nice run.
