Springtime baby bugs, YUM!

Okay- these are just a few things you must...deal with. of course there is always more, but today it's this.

^pain
^bugs
^state of mind

I ran Otter Trail.

Pain. The pain in my right leg is slowly sliding down to my knee. The good news the shin splints are totally gone. It took getting some good shoes, but what do I do for my newest agony? I'm not giving up my black spandex shorts for those really ugly loose fitting running shorts.
But Kathy, spandex look worse...they can't even make a models butt look good!
Yes, that is true. I solve that problem by wearing a white long sleeve shirt tied around my waist. Done.
New shorts? What good would that do? You're right, let's move on...

Damn You! Go away pain, and just let me run!!!I better not end up in the docs office again.

Bugs. A lovely reminder that spring is here. Close your mouth ya idiot. I had 2 bugs hit my in the face, and one flew in my mouth. That sure does break the concentration. I'm runnin along, minding my own business and wham! Down goes my head, up goes my hand, out goes the bug!
I hope nobody saw that...

Last thing...
State of mind. Why is it that no matter how far I've run, my brain will initiate the "okay muscles, we're getting near the end, time to start winding down" command when I have only have about a quarter mile left to go?
It doesn't matter if my route is a mile or 4 miles long. It happens everytime, and I have to manually override the order.
"No! Damn it! It's sprint time! Go faster! Harder!"

This sure turned out to be an angry post, didn't it? Sorry- I guess it's just that way sometimes.
