It's gross and I love it!

Yes... it's gross.... and I love it!!!
Sounds like I have a problem, but yes, the running world can be pretty gross!

Just the other day I was running at the lake, I could feel the blisters on my feet and the bugs hit my face. But that's not unusual for a runner.... the blisters or the bugs.

The running world includes several gross things such as:

1. Blisters.... we pop them and drain them and run again! ;)
2. Bugs..... we run through them, inhale them, swallow them, get them in our eyes, our hair, etc.
3. Snot Rocket.... you can't stop running to blow your nose sometimes (most of the time), so you must learn the snot rocket trick, where you just blow it to the side while you run! Either that or use your shirt!
4. Black toenail.... sometimes when you run your shoe will hit your toenail, usually from a smaller fitting shoe causing your toenail to turn black/purple... and it hurts... and most of the time, we run throught the pain (unless it's unbearable, then by all means we see a doctor! )

I'm sure I can find others, but these are few that came to mind the other day.

Though these things are gross and may perhaps discourage people from running, I truly would not do anything else! I love it... gross or not! ^_^
