A vicious run. You remember the old commercial when a guy sticks his arm into a clear container filled with mosquitoes to prove how effective his repellent was? Yeah, that was me. Except it wasn't just my arm an I didn't have on any repellent.
Tomorrow is the day my official training regimen for the marathon is supposed to begin. So this evening I went out under threatening skies and did the coast to coast run (Franktown to Brownsville and back). The Nature Conservancy trail in Brownsville is a mosquito mosh pit. I was surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and they were sucking the life out of me. So I ran with perseverance the race set before me. I just wish I'd've also run with Deet.
Good news - I got 8.25 miles in.
Bad news - my index toe on the right foot was acting up pretty badly, forcing me to walk about 2 miles of that. Can't figure out what's going on there. It didn't start until about 4 miles in and when I let it rest for a minute it seem to be ok, I was wearing the Komodo's.
