Guest guest Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I hate mosquitos too - SO much. I also tire of bug spray, since as you said, it doesn't do a lot - and it sweats off. I'm to the point that no matter how hot it is, I'm always covered from neck to toe when I walk the dogs on the trail. I wear light weight cotton long pants, and a long sleeve t-shirt or light warm up jacket to cover my arms - and put bug spray on my clothes. If the bugs are thick enough, I wear my bug hat (http://www.bughat.com/) with the the net pulled down, too. *sigh* I'm sure I'm quite a sight, but I hate the bugs around my face and ears. I'd rather be too hot than be swarmed by bugs. Good luck with the interview! Sara > > I had a pretty bad run today -- I'm not sure why. I think maybe I didn't stretch enough before??? My calves felt very very tight, and my feel ached. I made it half way through and kind of winged the last half. It didn't help at all that my MP# player's battery died in the middle of things... > > The weather was beautiful!! I'd be outdoors right now if it weren't for mosquitoes. (I HATE THEM!!!) Bug spray just keeps them from biting -- it doesn't keep them from flying around my face, trying to be inhaled... > > Anyway, it wasn't my best job. > > --Speaking of jobs, I have an interview Thursday morning!!
