Scary stuff…
Well, I’ve finally done it!
Hubby is just recently back to work, so we are back to the 3:30am mornings and this has caused me to commit myself to getting some exercise during the wee hours before I actually HAVE to be up for work. Some mornings are rougher than others, and although the bed doesn’t succeed at luring me back to its deliciously downy depths…. the couch turns out to be a lot more comfortable at 5am than any other time of the day it seems.
However, I’ve got my little workout setup going on upstairs, exercise ball, weights (my 5lbs are MIA) yoga mat etc etc. And now that the weather is unseasonably warm and its light enough to be seen at 6am I can get out walking… or maybe even biking once I dig it out of my parent’s basement.
Sounds great eh? Good for me!
Not so fast….
So this morning, I was out for my morning ‘powerwalk’ and I just get to the top of the hill and a car pulls over next to me. I live in a pretty laid back neighbourhood in the middle of nowhere country and as neighbourly as we are, cars pulling over at 6am are cause for concern. No worries though, turns out he just needed directions because of a detour at the end of the road……
seems the POLICE had it all blocked off for some unknown reason.
So I get home from my walk and my mother calls….’Lock your doors, someone just killed 3 women the next road over from ours and the police are trying to find the guy’….. Stuff like this NEVER has happened in this sleepy little country town…. There goes my morning walks. Great, just when I was getting motivated.

It’s good to know you’re safe and sound. Of course, no one here doubts that you’re one lady who can take care of herself in a hairy situation. I’ll be sure to keep the victims’ families in my thoughts and prayers…

Thanks Vincent!
Turns out a mother and younger daughter were killed. Another girl is now in stable condition, but she was the intended target, by her x-boyfriend (18). He was caught a few hours later.
Thank you for your prayers for them. The father and his remaining daughter will surely need them and all the support they can get during this tragic time.
