The Tulane crew with a "bull"

Notes: So this run was a little unorthodox.  And by that I mean that I walked most of it. LOL.  So one of the new ProStaff member at Tulane came into the office to see if anyone wanted to Run with the Bulls with her.  Every year in downtown New Orleans they "run" with the "bulls".  The bulls are actually Roller Derby women with horns attached to their helmets and plastic bats to smack you on the rump.  Some of these women were over excited to smack people on the rump, but it was all in good fun.  The run was a mile.  You could hear the screams whenever someone was being chased by a bull it was hilarious.  Cause most of us walked until a "bull" showed up...then we kicked it into high gear!  Anyway after it was over we decided to go to a restaurant called "eat" for breakfast.  Cause it was like 9am.  The restaurant was about 2 miles away.  However, it was worth it.  They had the best grits I've ever tasted.  After we ate we walked 2 miles back to the car.  So I walked about 5 miles.  I counted this as my run for the following reasons:

1. I was wearing workout clothes and sneakers
2. I was sweaty when I was done
3. I WALKED 4 MILES FOR FOOD
4. I was too tired to do anything but sleep when I got back home
5. Because I decide what constitutes a run and what doesn't

LOL. Anyway it was a great experience, and something I wouldn't be able to do anywhere else!
