Possum Kingdom

6.58 miles on another 40 degree morning.  My eye was still red this morning so I took a chance and ran sans glasses or contact lenses.  I was on guard for Dead Possum so when I saw it, I wasn't too alarmed (LIE, I was totally freaked out).  It was no longer on the shoulder of the road, it somehow moved onto the grass.  Lucky for me that I didn't have my contacts because I could only make out the shape and whitish face, no gory details.  Seeing cars in the distance was somewhat of a challenge when I got to corners, but I have lived to tell about it.  Overall, my uncorrected sight isn't bad enough to forego running, but not good enough to make out gross encounters of the nasty kind.  Win win.
