Consider this a PSA
..as a result of a Pretty Stupid Act of mine. |
It doesn't matter if you're running through a major metropolitan city.
Like Kitchener, Ontario for example |
That has wonderful paved trails
Like the Iron Horse Trail |
It doesn't matter how nice the scent of phlox is on the air
Or how abundant it may be |
If you find a bit of singletrack through some woods
There will be mosquitoes |
If you try to run from them
Which is advisable, since they can apparently fly faster than I can walk |
..then there is always the risk of going splat.
..and possibly landing in a pile of broken branches. |
If you're lucky, there will be some fuzzy little ducklings on the way back to distract you
Because of course you'll hurt yourself at the furthest point from your end destination |
..but there is a non-zero chance you'll have to debride your wounds with nothing but alcohol prep pads
..and patch yourself up with dollar store plasters. |
If you're especially lucky, you'll get to explain it to all your coworkers, too.
The icing on the cake |
Be safe out there, folks!
