Just Say "Gno"

Want to know why I don't take walk breaks?  It's not because it's ineffective -- it's quite effective, 'makes one's running even better, in fact.  I'd say it had something to do with pride, as in not wanting anyone to think I'm out for a walk but I'm over that one.  The reason I don't walk is gnats.  If you don't believe me go out and walk.  Then try and tell me I'm wrong with your mouth full of gnats.  Gnat Mouth!

During a well-deserved break at the top of a hill, I...I...coasted, I paused, shall we say, cruised for a moment, if you will.  They were in my eyes, noes and mouth in instant.  The only way I can describe what I did next is "crumping" (young folks: explain this to the older folks...): swat! duck! bend! arch! huh! a boom! boom! cat!

Then it dawned on me:  Run.  So I took off.  Of course, I had to verify if they were really gone, so I started walking again.  This did not go unnoticed by them so much.  I ran, walked, ran, walked, ran, walked.  This didn't look crazy at all to anyone who may have been about and therefore, see my previous dance moves.

I would never talk anyone out running -- it's great for your health.  Walking, on the other hand -- so hazardous!  Pleh!
