Why I do not take power walks anymore....it's not what you think

I live in Sussex County NJ and I love the hills, clean air, open road with little traffic so why do I refuse to take power walks??? BLACK BEAR!!!

I used to walk all the time and about 2 1/2 years ago I went for a walk with my daughter in the carriage while I was 6 months pregnant. I have seen a few bears that year, all taking my breath away, but that one crazy hot day was my last journey up and down the hills of my neighborhood. I was on my way home still about a mile or so away when I heard a rustling in the woods next to me...so I look over and saw 2 cute baby cubs that could not be more than a few months old playing a few feet away from me....my first instinct (was to hug and cuddle with them....I'm joking) it really was where is the mother....as I am thinking this my daughter is pointing to the other side of the road a few feet next to us. Yes that is right I am huge being pregnent with my oldest in the carriage between a mother bear and her babies. OMG....PANIC and SHOCK was like a wave that came over me and for a second I just froze.

Thankfully, I just walked away and the bear had no problems with that!!! So, that is why I do P90X in my basement at 5am safe and sound!!! Today I saw my first bear of the season and I was glad to say that myself and my children were safe and sound in the car!!!
