My run tonight

by Rick May 31, 2007

Had a good run tonight.  Well, there was this one part that wasn’t so good.  It was hot today, and the cooling air along the river brought the bugs out in droves.  I was in the middle of my 3-minute-run segment when this bug the size of a small twin-engine aircraft flew into my mouth [...]
