Man... not much to say about this run, which was with Roni, sean, Ishan, and Alex through CJ and Campgrounds than back to WJ through Tuckerman. Felt good at the start, and was really getting into a good groove when this bee stung me on my left thigh. Didn't care too much about it, cause I had been stung by bees before but never had a serious allergic reaction. So I just kept running with Roni, Sean, and Ishan. About 15 minutes after the bee sting, I started to itch like crazy, and my face felt really funny. We stopped at the end of campgrounds to take a quick breather, and the itching just got worse. By the time we were back on Tuckerman, my face had swollen up and I got all these hives. We quickly ran back to WJ and Martin took me up to the nurse, but she wasn't there, so than he tells me he'll just call 911. Fuck! Apparently it is MCPS regulation that if a kid has an allergic reaction on school grounds, an ambulance has to be called. I was so embarrassed cause this crowd started to form and I just felt like a big pussy. And from there it was just downhill cause the paramedics took it way too seriously and they kept putting crap into my body and that is that. I didn't get home till 9:30. Oh well, good run anyways, and I appreciate the entire XC team's concern and care for me. Thanks guys.
