I love to run because it involves only me and it challenges me.  It helps me feel good about myself.

Wanted to run 4 miles today but had to cut it short because I had to go to the bathroom really bad!!  It seems to happen to me often within the first few miles and it really frustrates me. Besides that, it was a good run.  Hope I can get back into the grove of running now that the kids are back in school.  I am forced into a schedule now. :(

 So I was driving in my car today and I had my window down and all of a sudden something hit me in my eye.  It hurt really bad but I just kept driving.  My eye was hurting more and more and more and then all of a sudden on the inside of both thighs it started to feel like I was being pinched really bad.  My Mom was in the car with me along with all my kids and my nephew and I finally had to pull over.  I told my mom that I thought there was something in my pants.  I jumped out of the car and my mom yelled it was a bee.  It stung me 3 times!!!  I was in sooo much pain!!!  I had to cry and I did,  My kids thought I was a crazy lady.  Luckily I am not allergic and I didn't swell really at all.  To top it all off I had to go to the Dentist about an hour later to have an old fill replaced.  I am done with shots and bee stings!!!  

Beware when you have your window down!!

HOLY COW!!! What a story!! I would cry too...after screaming and cussing a bit (well, maybe not with mom and the kids). What a horrible day.

Nice work on the run even if it did get cut short. Sometimes when that happens to me I'll find a way to mosey the first couple miles around the house, then stop back and then head out again.

Dang bees!!! That is why I never roll my window down, they scare me!

Don't you love it when you have to potty while running? It brings us right back to being a 2 year old.
