After my first day of work, kinda dehydrated, went out in an under control 6:53, saw a couple of other walkers out at this time, fairly uninteresting run until I turned the corner at the middle, I hear, "Pop. Pop. Pop." I was wondering what the source was when I felt a sting in my right quad, calf, and foot. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" I shout as I realize that I had been shot with some air-soft/pellet/BB gun by some guys in a gray BMW. The rest of my response to them was not very Christian or befitting of a XC captain. I flipped them the double bird and said, "F*** you!" They stopped ahead and taunted me by mocking my screams of pain. At that point, I decided to go for the out and back instead of the loop as I had originally planned to avoid get shot again. As I turned, they called me a pussy, and I told them to fight like a man, pansy. I knew I was bleeding, but did not stop to access the damage until I got home. The burst of adrenaline from the wounds and a slight headwind made the run back feel refreshing and allowed me to achieve even pace overall. When I got home, I discovered that I had one wound in my right quad and another in my right calf. Stretch, 30 Eagle.
