My run tonight
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 and lodged in the back of my throat. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure I heard it radioing for help as it entered my mouth: “Mayday, mayday tower, we’re on a collision course and are about to get sucked into the vortex of a really big guy who seems to be doing a lot of huffing and puffing. Initiating counter-attack measures immediately.” When it hit the back of my throat, I couldn’t very well stop my run and interrupt the fabric of civilization, so I just kept going. I managed to get it unlodged after very many paces, and luckily didn’t have to swallow it. I wonder how many WW points that thing would have been?

BUGS = PROTIEN

Thanks Honi… my thoughts exactly.
I was down at the Little League Park last night watching The Boy single-handedly win the game for the Reds! Actually, a triple that lead to a run and 3 RBI’s. Everything was fine, until they turned the lights on. It looked like the Blitzkrieg!

Thanks for reminding me of one more reason I hate running!
