Good the Bad the Ugly!

I had a great run in Wilkes Barre for Thanksgiving.  I ran some killer hills.  The inclines were about 12-15% grade and was an extreme heart pounding experience. 
Ran close to hour and half. I felt beat up after that run since I really haven't done a hill workout this difficult in a long time.  Some spots on the climbs it felt like I was running in place.  My quads and my calves could barely propel my body up the hills. 
But I love the hills and I always say that after running hills, the flat training is so much easier. 
Once I made it back to the house, Jessica said, you stick and need to take a shower now!  I was taking off my shirt and I felt a bump on the left side of my abdomen. I looked down to find the most disgusting thing, a Tick was head first dug into my body.  Everyone wanted to find out why I was screaming, and when I told them I had a tick stuck in my body. 
I grabbed anyone who would pull this damn creature out of my side.

Then Jess's cousin got some tweezers and I fell down to the floor and tried to have the little rascal yanked out of my body.  The little tick must have used it's barbed teeth and locked on my body after it dug in.  It was difficult for him to pull the entire tick out.

Once the tick was pulled out of my side we saved the disgusting critter and placed it in a bag and put some alcohol on the infected area and a medicated bandage.  I have never seen a tick bite on a human being and it is mess.  Now I have to just watch the area and I'm going to call a doctor for an appointment.  
More to come!!!!!!!
