Why is running bs? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Inspired by a podcast of the same name (running is BS) that loves to hate running.

This week I particularly hate running because...

Spring time in upon the northern hemisphere, but that brings about the freaking hoard of hovering flies 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰 at mouth level for easy ingestion.

Whether it is parks, trails, by water bodies, I can't seem to get away from them and always end up eating a mouthful of tiny flies, or at least up in my nostrils.

The worst was when I held my breath over a few steps thinking I made it through a patch, and gasping my way into another horde and engulfing a mother road after. UGH.

so much this yes. I would love to trade that burning salty drip in your eyes with more flies in my nostrils any time if I could

Now I'm wondering about the taste of salted flies on my runs. Proteins and electrolytes directly in 1 gulp

Isn't that what bandanas are for? The kind some tennis players wear?
