As for cycling, my husband and I biked the Great Alleghany Passage this summer for a total of 321 miles, (round trip plus extra biking in towns.) It was AMAZING!! My favorite distance with him for a regular weekend excusion is anywhere from 20-40 miles on a trail.<br />~Laura Laura Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835527652213261650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-19547427664856278402018-09-10T19:55:51.351-05:002018-09-10T19:55:51.351-05:00oh my, those yellow jacket stings sound awful!

We had a wasp in our house yesterday and I stalked that jerk with my bug zapper (it looks like a tennis racket) for an hour, but when I finally made contact and it popped and sizzled, I was quite satisfied.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-49516546952522593772018-09-10T15:24:11.766-05:002018-09-10T15:24:11.766-05:00Ahhh that’s terrible!!!

I was stung by a bee on my toe years ago (when I worked at a stable) and my foot swelled so bad I struggled to get my riding boot back on. Hope the pain is easing up for you! <br /><br />I’m still riding the injury recovery train. I like 10 miles for my short bike ride, 20 for my long one. It takes about 1 hour for me to hit 20... but that’s on my little indoor bike thing. I’m a newbie biker.

One of the bites was no biggie, but the other? Well, the side of my knee swelled up, I had a fever, and it HURT. I couldn't sleep for two night and I was actually limping from it.

As in I run like a bat outta hell if I see anything remotely resembling a flying insect coming towards me. But it sucks that you were stung 7 times! I'm sure that wasn't fun! <br /><br />Currently training, and I've noticed its started to get a "little" cooler in the mornings. Not by much and maybe its just wishful thinking but today's long run wasn't as bad as the past few in terms of heat. However, its never too early to decorate for Halloween! :-)Montana Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592368759795707989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-88763212039730495792018-09-09T18:53:17.350-05:002018-09-09T18:53:17.350-05:00I've only been stung once and that's when ...I've only been stung once and that's when I learned I was allergic.

That was only my second time stung, and I gladly found out I'm not allergic. I did learn to apply vinegar to those stings because it will neutralize the venom.

I have, over the past week, been eaten alive by stupid mosquitos though. This humidity is killing me and I've got to spend all the time outside making sure Rigby goes potty before he comes back in. #thestruggleisreal I cannot believe you were stung 7 times! My husband, a few years ago, mowed over a ground hornets nest and they got him quite a few times.
