What a Day

Days like this are rare - mild temperature, no wind, enough cloud cover to keep the sun from shining too bright - wow, this kind of weather is rare in KC. Today's 6-miler include 3x1-mile intervals, and it felt great all the way. Even if today hadn't been a running day I would have made it one.

The allergies are still killing me. Last night was the best night of sleep I've had in three weeks, but I still woke up a few minutes early with a runny nose. It's funny, because when I went to bed last night I felt like it was going to be a bad night. Shows how much I know. I also know that going out for a run when my allergies are like this isn't good for them, but at this point I don't care. Who knows what will set them off? Yesterday at work I was totally fine until I opened my former secretary's office to go through some old notebooks and as soon as I did the sneezing started and lasted until I fell asleep. If I curtailed all activities and didn't do anything until allergy season was over the only thing I'd do would be to lie in bed with the covers pulled over my head. And really that's no fun. At least it's no fun alone. So I suffer through the season and wait for the pollen counts to descend again. And wait. And wait.
