Spazzed out...



I'm 2 miles into my 4 mile run today, and I'm just about ready to turn around and head home, there is a vehicle on the road coming toward me. I have no idea what happened next but something hits me right in the face, that little crease right beside my left nostril, above my lip. I don't know if it was a bee, a walnut falling out of a tree or some ninja up in the woods throwing one of them ninja stars at me (it felt like the latter). Suddenly I turn into a 3 year old girl with tourettes. It stopped me dead in my tracks. I can only imagine what the people in the oncoming vehicle were thinking, and I'm not sure why they didn't stop. Well, yes I am, they were probably scared to death of the mental patient on the side of the road screaming and dancing around swinging at his face like he was on fire. The whole side of my face went numb and my eye started throbbing. There wasn't really anything I could do, so I turned around and kept running, just sure that blood would start pouring any second. I made it back to the truck without passing out, and looked in the mirror and I can't even find a mark. Them ninjas are amazing.

Here are my splits for the run:

1 - 11:04.5
2 - 11:02.2
3 - 11:54.0 (Hey I was hurting)
4 - 10:27.9 (Convinced I was going to need medical attention)
