Busted

Those of you who know me know that I am NOT a rule-breaker. Straight-laced girl from the midwest. But I couldn’t resist this one. A new sign went up that said no jogging on a certain road in the compound. The elimination of this road on the jogging route cut out ½ a mile, making it more monotonous. I talked my favorite AF captain into breaking the rules and running on the forbidden section. We took pictures to document it. About 2 minutes later, the wing safety officer flagged us down and told us we must have missed the new signs. We said we didn’t even notice (a white lie). A week later I was flying with LtCol Sexton, and I ‘fessed up that I knew all along about the signs. Fortunately, I had developed a rapport with him at that point, and he was cool. I told him I would stick to the treadmill and 5K competitive run on Fridays, and do a feature on one of his staffers. All is good.
