Rats, foiled by the Honey Nut Cheerios…damn you bee!!0
Apparently, Honey Nut Cheerios are good for many things like lowering ones cholesterol and keeping ones annoying baby quiet - but not so good at providing fuel for running.
Sunday morning was the day for my attempted long run (about 8 miles or so) and I was actually doing pretty well for a change. I made it down (or up, whatever) to Prospect Park and was about 1/4 of the way around the park when the Cheerios I ate for dinner the night before (dun, dun, dun) started making their presence known quite forcefully. Which forced me to stop and walk until I could get to a bathroom - about a mile. But even after I spent - oh, let’s just round it down to about half an hour - in the bathroom, the Cheerios were still doing their best impression of Rice Krispies by snapping, crackling and popping throughout my digestive tract.
Needless to say, all of the unexpected digestive activities forced me to walk for the rest of my run AND since I had neglected to bring money or my Metrocard, also forced me to walk back home. In the freezing cold. I say that its all that damn bee’s fault. Never again will I take your advice about healthy grains bee. NEVER!!
