Yes, I had bugs for dinner last night,marinated in yogurt, just a touch of mayo and ketchup with fingerling potatoes on the side. Yeah right, I am vegetarian, born and raised as vegetarian, never had the choice to choose!
I have been running in the evening because of the hot weather and obsession with fairer skin,ran 3k in 19 minutes, average pace 6.30. The run was really good, I was focused on increasing my pace, cool breeze blowing my newly cropped hair, I believe it provides least resistance while running:),out of the blue, a big bug flew into my mouth...I huffed and puffed but could get the bug out. I spat, coughed and imitated throw up, but the bug seemed to fancy my oral hygiene and stayed inside my mouth. The only things left for me to do was drown bug, the bugger, I drank water, don't know if bugs have soul, but if they do may it rest in peace temporarily in my stomach till morning.

How do I avoid this from happening again? any suggestions? I wish to stay vegetarian and prefer cereal for dinner.

I killed the bug and the bug killed my appetite.

Here's to all the bugs who fly into unassuming runners mouth, fly in peace.

Few weeks ago, I read in a health magazine that running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 400 miles, that gave me a jolt, I could never buy new shoes again! Mine would last for a lifetime! I got up, put on my shoes and started running and since then have not looked back.
I have been doing cardio and strength training for sometime now but it does not compare with the thrill of running! The first time I ran, was 5k in 35 minutes, I was at the top of the world AND ready to pass out because of exhaustion. The rush of adrenaline kept me from thumping to the ground, I hugged my hubby, my best friend, who was running right besides me!

I never thought I could run in my dreams or day dreams! I have always been in awe of runners, the strength, form and energy they emit always captivated me.I am happy to say...My name is Leena, and I am a running addict!
