Allergies...

Since moving out to WA from Chicago 'burbs, my alleries are worse. More trees and weeds. Ever hear of Scotch Broom? A beautiful yellow blooming flower of a weed that is EVERY WHERE. I am so allergic to them and only steroids work. I don't want to take any!

Ran around the neighborhood Thursday for only 6 miles (Time: 50 min) hmmm? Seemed fast and hard to me too! Because it was. 8:35minute miles. At least my allergies didn't bother me much while running. Not too many weeds and trees. Until I ran today on the trail that has TONS of weeds and scotch broom. Will I ever learn? Somehow I stopped my watch at 36 minutes but this was after I turned around. On the way out felt great, on the way back I felt like a slug... the really big ugly ones with eye's you can see staring at you. Ran 6.8 (not 7) miles and not clear on the time but think it was around 54-56 minutes. 9+ minute miles which is fine with me.

Hoping to do the 10 miles tomorrow~~but think I'll have to run the pavement and not the allergy ridden trail.

  1. Hmm, will the steroids enhance your performance? :)

  2. Yes! Because I can breath! They take all the aches away but make me very moody.
