Problem With My Flies

Went for an early morning run today at Alviso, which has a number of trails on levees around the evaporation ponds in the bay.  In the evening it gets windy out there but in the morning it's very still, which sometimes means there are areas with swarms of little flies.  Today I ran a new route and encountered a lot of flies.  Basically there was a 2 mile stretch where the air was just back with these little bastards.  Luckily I had sunglasses, but I had to run with my shirt held over my mouth & nose to stop from choking on them.  I passed an old guy walking who looked at me kinda weird, so I stopped and took a photo of myself.  When I got back to the car I looked at it and saw why....  Pretty gross....
