I love late evening runs.... but I HATE BUGS!!!!

Since it was hot yesterday, I waited until 8:30 last night to go for a run. Ray came with me for safety. There were sooooo many swarms of bugs around that it made it very difficult to enjoy coolness of the evening.

The goal for this run was to be consistent in the pacing during the run intervals. I figure that being consistent now, will help as I progress to longer distances... (Remember the good old days, when the goal was just surviving the run)...

I kept a good pace throughout the run. Although I developed a huge stitch in my side as soon as I finished the last run interval and I couldn't breathe it out no matter how hard I tried. THEN, I swallowed a whole bunch of flies that I was gagging and almost had an asthma attacked, cuz I still couldn't breathe deeply because of the stitch. I managed to stretch out the stitch and then we hoped in the truck and went to Quiznos for supper (yummy beef and mushroom sub)...

What's the training widget?

I hate bugs too. I got bit by a horsefly a few times, which sucked, but I survived. Eating bugs though...least it's protein ;) Lol!

Way to go on the runs! and next time you go to Quiznos, try the veggie sub with guacamole on it (if you haven't already)
