Really good morning. I thought I was faster than yesterday, but I guess my pace was only 1 second faster. Still, I had a good pick-up a whole 5 minutes before the end, which doesn't happen often. Usually I only pick up the last 1-2 minutes.

I need to find a good mosquito repellent, preferably a non-sticky, non-stinky, non-environmentally harmful one that applies easily and doesn't contain DEET. Does such a miracle product exist? Seems like I'm having more trouble going through the empty lot every, with humongous mosquitos attacking my legs and arms and even face. Once I'm through the lot, I'm home-free, but I still have to go through that coming back home. Arrrggh. I have some nasty bites around my legs and arms that aren't only itchy -- they're darn unattractive.
