Today is day two of my Cleanse and day two of stepping up my
training. All I can tell you is it is day two and I am already exhausted. Which
is why I have desired to drastically alter my sleeping schedule. Somehow I am
more willing to sacrifice my social life than the quality of my workouts. But
enough of the whining, let me tell you what I did today.
I was pretty brave this afternoon and gone outside (I know,
why would anyone do that with all this gross, yellow stuff around?). Within
minutes I could feel my skin getting covered with pollen, when sweat was added
into the equation, I began to itch like crazy. However, regardless of the pain,
the watering eyes, the itch, the burning throat, I made it through my hill
drills today.
After I am done writing this short entry, I am going to go
get a filter mask from CVS and wear it when I run. I hear they are incredible
for running in this awful pollen. Yes, they are ugly, yes, you look like you
are escaping a plague of some type, but you know what? When I train, I am not
training to make a fashion statement, I am training to feel good and look good
after I take a shower and eat. I never understood girls that end up primping in
the mirror during their workout. Don't they understand that unless their face
is melting off, they are doing it wrong?
