the things we do....

Early Afternoon:



I had an epic ride. I know that sounds a little intense for road biking, but it really was awesome. My legs just rode at an intensive level for nearly two hours as if they were made to do so. I really felt great, and the time flew by.

Mid afternoon:

I decided to take a little break, and do my six miler in the evening. I caught up with one of my favorite people in the whole world, for a while u know who you are. It was great talking to you. I have USCG duty this week, so my schedule is a little shaky...i got a phone call about a little collision in the houston ship channell, and my training/eating/sleep schedule just got tossed.

Late night:

After ensuring the situation was secure, i got home around 1045pm, and hit the trails for my run. Feeling like i should be asleep, i drudged through. if my coach is reading this, he is probably pissed(duty week). about 4 miles in i got something in my mouth. it was either a large bug or a baby tree frog, im still not sure. i softly escorted it out of my throat and i believe it is still alive. yuk. i finished my run shortly before 1130pm, and thought to myself...the things we do for this sport...

I swallowed a fly once when on my bike. Nice blog - I linked over from PinkGurugal's site. You are a hardcore trainer! Good luck on all your future races!

Of all the places that bugs (or small tree frogs) can land, why does it always seem like they land in either your eye, ear or (yuck!) mouth? I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that the bugs can't avoid.

I sincerely hope it was a frog. :)

I once got hit square in the center of my motorcycle helmet shield doing 80 on the Duc by a large locust. It felt and sounded like a rocket-propelled grenade.
