The Weather...It is so cold compared to the past few years!

I wrote this a couple of springs back...We haven't hit these temperatures yet, which is good! No irritating bugs yet!

Oh what a run I had today! The weather was a nice 28 degrees Celsius, (that is about 85 Fahrenheit) I ventured out the door trying to suck the humid air up my nostrils. Oh I knew it was going to be like a summer day! Through the trees down the hill, past that stinky old raccoon-poop infested barn, (Which is beautiful I might add!) and into the woods. It is getting very dark in the woods with all the maple tree leaves out! I ventured around the snowman trail which is about 1/4 of a kilometre around and was hit with those most irritating bugs. The deer fly!!! Drive me crazy going around and around my head. I have short hair that protects my head, but my neck was getting the occasional sneaky bite from the guys. Now I understand these females need my blood to feed on for reproducing, but give me a break! They drove me crazy.
Lee Valley has those deer fly strips that I used last year and they really worked. You could come back on a run with about 20 deer flies stuck to the tape!
It's quite a buzz.
Which is exactly what it is if you want a really good buzz!
Just remember to wear a hat so you got something to stick the deer fly tape on. I don't recommend using your hair it would be difficult to get the tape off---not to mention it would hurt. Only if you are bald. LOL!.
Well my run ended happily because I did it, but the next time I go out into the woods I will be ready to catch them on my backside!!!!!!!!!!!

Strawberry season is coming...This is a great time to build up on beneficial vitamins and minerals. The fiber in strawberries helps stabilize your blood sugar and helps organs like your liver function more efficiently! Best of all strawberries taste delicious right from the picking!
*Strawberries are great to eat before and after a run!
