Check out my progress on Aww, crap: the Sequel
Apparently the birds have something against me. Last summer, in the midst of a run, I was nailed by flying bird poopy. As if enduring such humiliation once weren’t bad enough, I was hit again today.
It happened like this: I was running along on the track, in a very Zen-like state, when all the sudden three jets of whitish fluid descend from the sky. Before my reflexes had a chance to react, I was doused in doo-doo. I think the birds were having target practice, and I was their intended victim. Lovely.
My morning was not all bad, however. I came home, rinsed off all fecal matter, and jumped in the pool. I am re-kindling my love of summer-time swims.
What kind of embarrassing things have happened to you during exercise? Aside from the above incident, I’ve been known to take some serious spills while running.
This is a food blog, so let’s cease discussion of poopy.
I’ve been craving Banana Coconut Breakfast Pudding for weeks now, but I never seem to have any spare bananas around to freeze. I finally remembered to shove one in the freezer last night before bed, for the express purpose of making this tasty breakfast treat. I wonder if this would work with other frozen fruit?
After a return trip to Banana Republic with Papa Broc and a visit with Greta and Rainer, I came home famished. Goddess Garbanzos seemed like the perfect stomach-filler.
When dinner-time rolled around, I received a call from Seth and proceeded to choke on my food. I guess I haven’t quite mastered the chew-then-swallow sequence. Anyway, it was a lovely meal otherwise—I mean, who wouldn’t love grilled PB-BBQ tofu served alongside the perfect company?
My newly arrived issue of Real Simple beckons. Good night, blog-land!

OH NO! Damn those birds. That’s never happened to me and I hope it never does.
Love that breakfast!
I tripped today and landed flat on my face. That will be left off the blog
You know, they say that being pooped on by a bird is a good omen. Just tell yourself that and maybe it’ll alleviate some of the “eww” factor.
I love the skin on kiwi, too!!!
I had an ok run today but I have also suffered from being a part of bird target practice. Fortunately I was not far from home when it happened.
aha! a new pudding recipe for me to try!
pudding has become an obsession of mine lately. this looks really really good!
Hahaha oh goodness I have never been pooped on during a run, but I have had bugs fly into my eyes, nostrils, mouth and ears on several occasions! Very uncomfortable, I must say.
Do you have to wash the kiwi skin with a toothbrush to make sure it’s not dirty? The texture kinda freaks me out but I would love to try it skin-on tomorrow!!
about to read that same real simple @ the gym
Everything looks amazing.
You are the second person I meet today that eats the skin of the kiwi…strange
I hadn’t seen your coconut pudding before! Looks absolutely delicious
Being pooped on is good luck!! Maybe that’s what they just tell people so they feel better about it though? When I was still in my sport, I had two embarrassing moments: 1. I tripped (while doing literally nothing, just moving) and split my knee open gushing blood everywhere. 2. While trying to do chin ups I just kept swinging back and forth on the bar. I couldn’t (and still can’t) do them!
Hahaha thanks for the laugh! But sorry about the flying poo… most embarrassing things to have happened to me are falls and almost running into telephone poles.
i just looked at that recipe for the pudding – ummm…yes please! and i just caught up on about 20 posts. guilty as charged.
anyways, i owe you a HUGE congratulations on getting into grad school! that is AWESOME! i am so happy for you, and excited for the interesting things ahead!
and i’ve been pooped on too. except my hair is curly, so the poop mashed up all in my follicles and it was just messy.
love ya lady!
Ewww…that sucks, Caroline! But what a funny tale to tell, huh?
Here’s a secret: I was out walking and had DIARRHEA. In my pants. I had nowhere to go. I hurried back home (a good few miles) away with wet, squishy pants.
whaaaaaaat hahahahaha you can NOT win girl. i would run in a bubble from now on. or atleast in the summer. and i thought the HUGE dropping on my car was bad.
i don’t have any incidents like that! knock on wood
I have definitely taken my share of bad falls, too. My most embarrassing one was at the gym. I tripped on the treadmill and couldn’t get back on, so my knees were just dragging behind me as the treadmill sped on. Finally the girl next to me yanked the emergency tab, so it stopped. I felt like everyone in the whole gym was looking at me..eeeek!
i love when i get caught in a ‘zen like state’. its just the best <3
