Work has been crazy but finally I have a chance to answer
the question in my previous post. What made the mark on my leg while I was out on my trail run?
The answer is... drumroll...
A spider web!!! Like the one below! Or one very similar anyway...
I have no idea how it got on my leg but somehow it did. It was probably a baboon spider nest. I saw it on my sock and din't really take notice of it until I stopped for a drink. I don't think the spider took a ride with me as well...
I only noticed the mark after my run and must say it was a new one for me.
So no, I did not carry a donut in my sock or run into some aliens or trip over a squirrel. I also don't carry secret boosters in my socks and thank goodness it was not a hoof print!
Thanks for sharing some fun! Happy training!
Ewwww!
ReplyDeleteFunny! Would have never guessed that!
ReplyDeleteEven though they shouldn't, spiders scare me - that's a big web to run through!

ReplyDeleteGood thing he didn't bite you...
ReplyDeleteOk that's just creepy!
ReplyDeleteAnd that being S. Africa, I must ask: is that a poisonous spider?
ReplyDeleteIf a spider nest were planted on my leg, I'm sure I'd be traumatized for about 8 years.
ReplyDeleteI still think aliens would have been a cool answer ;).
Aaand now I have nightmares...
ReplyDeleteI'm newly grateful for the thin strands of spiderweb we run/ride into on the trails here!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have preferred some sort of alien device than a spider's web so close to my skin. Even without the spider.
ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwww, Johann!! Now I'll forever be checking my surrounds like a mad woman to try and avoid all of those...!
ReplyDeleteAw man, you just gave me the heebie-jeebies - yuck!
ReplyDeleteNever guessed that. I had something of similar a couple of months ago because a horsefly.
