Run, Run, Run

This morning I wasn't teaching my 6am jazzercise class so I thought I would take advantage of waking up early and head out for a run. It was a "personal best" timewise (for all of you nike+ people) and I feel really great about it! However... a group (are they groups?) of flies found me one mile into my run and would NOT leave me alone! I tried to outrun them, I tried to swat them, I tried to swish them with my ponytail- - NOTHING WORKED. They were dive-bombing my head, landing on my ears and driving me crazy! Those damn flies have got to be the fittest flies around, keeping up with me for 5 miles. How do you get flies to leave you alone? I would have thought because I was moving they wouldn't have stuck around for so long, at the rate they were circling my head, you would have thought I was road kill.
