paying the price...

for my 15 minutes of fame.... OR.... skipping my planned workout (sorry matt!)

i left work early yesterday to head over to krandyland for an interview the local paper was doing on the boonies (our trail running club). we did a short trail run (followed by a longer one afterwards) for the video they were shooting. 5 minutes in, i get stung by something right under my left eye. OUCH! it stung for awhile (ok, like the next hour) and felt like i had an ice ax jammed into my cheekbone. not much swelling, so we continued on with our planned longer run. 15 minutes later, OH SHIT, more. i only got stung one my time on my butt, but the two guys behind me were nailed 4 times each. needless to say, it was not a good time. 

i woke up this morning with  my eye all but swollen shut. definitely no hope of getting my contacts in today. now to figure out if i go to the dr for this sort of thing or not. ?!

i started to post a pic, but decided it was just too scary :)
