Gnats! Gnats are trying to mess me up. I started out with a mile warm-up on some side streets then headed down to the lake to do my workout, 6 miles at 6.05 pace. All was well at first, I bumped it up to my pace and I felt good. Then, out of nowhere came a cloud of gnats, they went in every opening they could find. They went up my shorts, in my armpits, my ears, nose, finally they hit the back of my throat. One moment I was cruising along at 6:05 pace the next I was bent over gagging and dry-heaving on the side of the road.
I had to get away from the lake. I ended up heading over to the track to finish my workout. It wasn't perfect, but I did manage to get in something that resembled; 1mile warm-up, 6 miles at 6:05, 1 mile cool-down. Tomorrow I'm scheduled to do 6 easy, but I may do 8.
I had the SAME cloud of gnats on the lake tonight. They went down pretty easy though.
