Running Bites!

Tonight I set out to do 5 miles and it did NOT happen.

I took a wimp walk at about 2.5 miles then got attacked by a swarm of mosquitos. I had to stop running to slap the little jerks off of my legs. I looked behind me and saw a small black cloud following me for more than half a mile.

They even bit my shoulders, back, and butt through my clothing. Thank God for calamine lotion!

The backs of my legs are a lot worse.
You should see my running shorts. They're covered in blood spots from where I slapped them, as is my shirt. I even had to clean blood off my iPod cord. What gives?

I can't stop though. I'm officially signed up for a 10k on October 9.

    Yuck! Get you some Deep Woods Off! I hate the smell and the feel, but it does help...

    Oh, I'll be spraying on the Off! every time I go out until we get a nice overnight freeze that will kill off the mosquitos. I have an Off! fan, but it doesn't work when you're moving around.
