Some weeks I feel like there's a conspiracy to keep me from running. Tuesday, for the second week in a row, we had a big thunderstorm right at the time I would've gone out. Additionally, allergies hit me midday on Tuesday and lasted through yesterday. Today I feel human again, but I'll say this: if you don't have allergies, count yourself lucky. It feels like having the flu without the benefits of losing all the contents of your stomach through both ends. Seriously, it's debilitating and if you've never experienced it, good for you. Anyway, today was a chance to get out in the morning and shake off some the allergy effects. I only went 2 miles and walked most of the second half of that, but I have to say I felt much better afterward. In fact, I got that dopamine rush a little bit and just getting out for even that short of a time improved my mood quite a bit. It's amazing what a little sunlight and exercise can do for a person.
