Yes, Hot French men I will go with you to buy chocolate.

So long story short. I ended up in Chile after booking a flight at 2:30 in the morning. I won't even explain cause it's just another one of those things I do without thinking too hard. Anyways, so here I am hitchhiking from the ski resort Termas de Chillan, a beautiful little ski resort 5 hours south of Santiago. After unsuccessfully holding my thumb out and having not one, but two different trucks of guys pass me without stopping, I realized that Chillean men must be gay or I'm completley hideous. I decided I might as well hike back down to the cabin I was staying in when around the bend in the road came a truck full of men. They stopped and offered me a ride. They were professional snowboarders from France shooting the 2010 billabong catalog. There photographer was fluent in english and very easy on the eyes. The snowboarders were pretty damn hot as well. They asked if I were traveling alone and I said, " Sometimes you just have to travel alone or you'll wait a lifetime waiting for someone to go with you" The beautiful french photographer, with his great white teeth and charming smile replied, "That's right you don't need some stupid man to hold you back." I didn't say anything about men, but apparently traveling alone implies you are single, which I am, but that is besides the point. So as we are driving down the mountain engaged in conversation about traveling the world they ask if it is okay if they stop and buy chocolate. They seemed to have run out of chocolate at their condo and they love chocolate so much. Is this seriously happening? Hot and love chocolate! MMMMMM! The rest of the story is a secret. Ya right, they dropped me at my cabin and I never saw them again, but oh the thoughts in my mind.

M'embrasser déjà!

Have I gone even more crazy! I think so but life wouldn't be fun otherwise.

So after taking a nice trail run through the mountains today I thought about how nice it would be to do mountain marathon. Little behold when I got home from running in the front page of my newspaper there was an advertisement for a half mountain marathon in Utah. So I decided to check it out. Now I am stoked on getting in shape to do two trail runs on August 16 in Utah and one in Bend, Oregon September 27. So now I need to get motivated to run every day and stop eating cookies. If getting in shape and having an awesome time doesn't motivate me, maybe the cash prizes for the top runners will. So I looked up this video to get pumped up and I realized I am nothing like these people. This is going to be tough!
