Conjunctivitis

AHHH.. I got crap in my eye and it wont go away!!!! So, being the domesticated redneck that I am I look up everything on-line, as does 90% of the American population I'm sure... I came across this...

Causes of Pinkeye
Pinkeye can be caused by many of the bacteria and viruses responsible for colds and other infections, — including ear infections, sinus infections, and sore throats — and by the same types of bacteria that cause the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) chlamydia and gonorrhea.
How gross is that??? I essentially have "VD" in my eye!!! Unbeknownced (is that a word?) to me my eye apparently has a bit of a problem and will be receiving STD preventative training as soon as the moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution runs its course. Blah Blah Blah... How will that talk go?

Me: OK look here Eye, you need to wrap it up
Eye: give me my privacy!
Me: no, because when you get VD it makes people think I'm smoking crack because my eyes look like their bleeding.
Eye: I think we need space.
Me: Space? Space? Your stuck to my head, your like a freaking parasite! and you want space..
Eye: its not you, (long pause) its me!!!

Cut to commercial...

This could be a good thing. I'm forced to stay out of the pool (where I probably contracted the eye STD) and really start focusing on my long runs. I have 7 weeks to the marathon, I'll do a long run of 12 miles this week and add a couple miles to it every week. If I just had 2 more hours a day, training would be easy. From the time I get up at 4ish everything is a race. I race to get to the gym to get in a short work out. I race to get to the office... After work I'm racing home to beat the traffic... Oh, I'm complaining now... and no one wants to hear whining excuses, but then no one reads this stupid blog about my eye VD anyway...

Until yesterday the word salacious was not part of my vocabulary.
