That first one will change: when you're running 15-20 miles, you'll lose the cotton socks.

2) I prefer to run by myself so I don't have to talk or fit in with someone else's pace.

I hate admitting that I dread spring/summer becasue of the deer fly/horse fly situation. When one starts orbitng my head, I turn into a freak. If anyone saw me, I would be very ashamed. I fear the deer fly, like no other.

I've got a fever...
hat really freaks me out are these guys, cicada killer wasps, who come out ~June through September:
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Thank you greatly oh great and grand poo-bah elitist prick for your sage wisdom....LOL
I've been holding fairly well to 30-40 mpw for the last couple of months with runs to 16 miles. I have yet to see a need to change from my big white Nike cotton socks. (I've also completed one full marathon and three halves in the things.)
Alright, Sockoni. You posted this once before and it took me months to get over it. Please don't do it again.

I don't mind the bugs - its the picture of you holding them in your hand that gets me.
Are you sure they don't sting? When I was a kid growing up in Texas, my neighbor buddy and I used to collect bugs. The Cicada Killer was one of our prime targets, because it was a) cool, b) had a cool name, and c) was the size of New Jersey. But I distinctly remember when we finally got one and pinned it ... it had a stinger about a foot a half long. Was that for decoration? Or did we capture a female?

Running gives me really ugly feet -- I'm missing toenails and I'm blistery. My feet would look much better, but I have completely lost interest in maintaining them. Now I can't let anyone see them. I love/ hate running. Because of this, I will never be a consistent runner.
