Total Distance

5.00

Woke to another crazy foggy morning, and just couldn't muster the desire to run. So I slept in a little and then did 30 min elliptical. Almost finished the book I'm reading, which is a diappointment, but when I've already come this far, why quit now?

Ran home- 74 degrees again. Love this nice December weather!! Evidently, so do the gnats. I ran right through a quarter mile long gnat cloud. Up my nose, in my eyes, in my mouth, all over my face and neck (and the all over my hands as I tried to wipe them off my face). Here's a photo of my neck when I got home. No, I'm not growing a beard. ICK!!

Awesome! Kudos for fighting through the bugs. That is all summer long for me. I come home and my shirt is a constellation of gnats. I haven't been hit like that in a while. I imagine what I must look like to people driving by, while I'm trying to dislodge the bugs from my nose! Ewww.

Tom- gnats really are horrible! I'm not sure if a whole summer of them up my nose would keep me indoors and off the roads. I thought I'd play it safe and not send a photo of the gnat encrusted tissue I blew my nose in. I'm sure you understand :o)

Thanks for sparing me. You are a trooper for running through that mess. Good job!

Ewwww. Gnats are annoying. Funny picture...made me laugh.
