First off, the bees.

As per usual on Sunday morning, I was flying around the house because I procrastinated on heading out the door for my pre-church miles.  I almost always do my Sunday runs before MFH (My Favorite Husband) and I leave for church.  Too many things happen that make it difficult to fit those miles in later in the day.

MFH made his tasty pancakes like he does every Sunday and I lingered over mind AND the inevitable cup of coffee.  Then, of course, I had to wait for the coffee to “work.”  Finally it was safe to run.

I only had 7 miles to do so it wasn’t like I was going to be out there forever but I was really feeling a time crunch.  I tried to pour on the gas but to be honest, I am still a little tired from last weekend’s Half Marathon.

With about a mile left of this run, I learned that being a mouth breather, even though you get a bit more air, can cause…complications.  I inhaled a bug.  That thing went in all the way to the back of my mouth!  Immediately I tried to spit it out.  That’s when I discovered I had inhaled a bee.  It stung me inside my mouth.  I couldn’t believe it!!!

I was a moderate cry baby about it when I got home but we were going to be late for church.  I showered, got dressed and we bolted for the car.

Today I am pleased to report a bug free 10 miler.  *Happy Dance*

Back about a month ago(?) I mentioned that I had recorded a podcast.  This was an exciting thing for me!  Let’s be honest.  I’m a middle age lady in Mississippi.  Not terribly exciting stuff.  However, Denny wanted to chat, so we did!  The podcast was “released” this morning so I’m just going to put the link here for you.  You are welcome to listen and/or read the article at your leisure.  Happy Monday and happy running to you!!!
