When's the last time you ran full speed?

Full speed, full speed, probably a few months ago just goofing around on my old man shyt, egging kids on, telling them I'm faster than them.

I regularly take the treadmill up to 12-14 mph for 2 minutes though.

Anytime there are big bugs around.

I walk the greenways in my city.

But I hate bugs. But mostly I haven’t seen too many crazy looking ones lately so it’s cool.

But I was coming around the bend and this fukker was on the trail in front of me.

It’s a type of hornet. Cicada Hawk. Terrifying.

I literally damn near ran into the creek to get around it and was convinced it was chasing me.

Major NOPE moment. I’ve never seen something so big in my life.

Wait, you actually sprint away from insects? :dead: I mean I find them revolting as well but I'd just step over or around them and keep it moving, not run away :pachaha:

Couple months ago. Lady was pushing a stroller on a steep hill I live near. She let go of it and looked away, I saw it roll towards the street. I hit the little hop skip and then

You know what this is a thing I need to do a lot more of…I’ve always paced myself for distance but rarely do I ever just all out sprint.

Oh not just sprint away…but sprint away screaming.

Like literally running full speed down the greenway screaming.

Story time!

So in Japanese schools, they are big on embedding experiential learning opportunities into their curriculum. So stuff like community field trips and volunteer activities are weekly. We’d take our students to the fields in the local community to help farmers plant rice.

Welp if you know anything about growing rice, you gotta flood the fields.

So they had these long rubber boots for us to wear and some rice seed. Already my anxiety is on 10 b/c bugs in Japan were ridiculous. But I didn’t wanna make a scene so I just went along and participated.

I was good for a few minutes. But then I looked down.

shyt was everywhere in that damn rice paddy. :damn::damn::damn:

Then something that looked like a cross between a hornet, a grasshopper and a demon whizzed by me. :damn:By now my anxiety had been steadily mounting and I’m just fukking done. :damn:Some type of big ass bug buzzed by me and I dropped my lil basket and ran SCREAMING THROUGH THE FIELDS all the way back to the buses.
:damn::damn::damn:
:wow:The farmers are crying laughing :russ:

I ain’t eeen care. I honestly don’t know how they do it b/c some were barefoot! Crazy thing is my family is from the country. I know about farming but even when I was little I always had huge bug phobias. So many stories.

Also they follow me. It’s like they can sense my fear.
But yeah…NOPE. Just say no to bugs.:wow:

I think the only insect that would have that sort of effect on me is flying cockroaches. God damn those things are fukking tyrants :sadcam:

I remember one time when I was about 17, me and my friends were just chilling in the yard, drinking some beers and enjoying a breezy summer evening. Then a giant flying cockroach comes in and the whole lot of us bolted back inside the house :mjlol: we dropped everything where we stood and as a unit ran our asses in the house :dead:
