What the!!!!!!


Several weeks ago I had set out on a run.. it was dusk and I was running along this dark winding wooded trail when all of a sudden some massive flying bug of some sort smacked me in my ear (even the bugs are bigger in Texas) … I could hear it BUZZING around and subsequently I was frantically trying to swat it away… and then I noticed it maybe it was STILL IN MY EAR because I could feel this massive structure of some sort in my ear which really freaked me out so I stopped running, leaned over, and frantically tried to dig it out of my ear but it turns out it was just my ear-bud from my ipod headphones.

(See, apparently a bug had in fact hit me in the ear, made a buzzing sound, but then quickly went on its way… however I still thought it was in there … but it was just my ear piece for my ipod)

In closing, I will say, even though it may "sound" like a good idea at the time… don’t take acid before you set off on a run. While you won't read that in any "Runner's World" magazines (A curious omission for sure!) .. I think it's worth mentioning.

funny thing about ipods and mp3 players....plou and I have never owned one until about a week or two ago....so we are strolling around jc penny and buy this cheap ass mp3 player...confused at first because it charges thru a USB port..which is new technology to me.....it takes me three days to charge the thing....basically because I didn't read the instruction....and didn't know how to hold the button down a few seconds to turn it on...and then I download some songs and give it to plou to listen to...she says she can't hear it...I look up and she has the MP3 player held up to her ear...not the earbuds..but the player itself....it takes us a few minutes to determine you have to actually plug earphones (buds)into the player and stick them in your ears to hear....are we old school or what?
