Outside Running!

I was so worn out today, but this was my opportunity to run outside, so I grabbed it! It is fixing to snow tomorrow and again Thursday and Friday. And it will be cold! So I just womaned up and did it. And I'm so glad I did. Very nice out - well, a little brisk. But good to be out there. And many people agreed with me! I did 3 miles.

New Drugs = Less Sneezing

I went to the drugstore today and got a behind the counter sinus medicine that also has an antihistamine in it. Result? Way less sneezing. After I ran, I was able to walk for 20 minutes or so. I did have a couple of sneezes and needed to blow my nose, but nothing like it has been. So that's good! And the above paragraph already gave you a preview of my report! I went to the gym and ran. 3 miles. We are going to continue to have winter here for the next week or two, so I imagine I'll be running at the gym a lot in the coming weeks. Still thinking of a different gym. Probably 24 hour Fitness if I do change, which is right over by Target and Home Depot. That's it!

Sneezemania!

I was back at the gym yesterday and today and, as I'd not usual, started a sneezing fit when I was done running.  Today I timed it.  6 minutes after I slwas done running (and was just walking on the treadmill) I started up.  Still not done 4.5 hours later, although it is letting up now.

I have an appointment 3/21 at an allergy clinic, so I'm looking forward to that.  Maybe I won't have any allergies at all but, if that's the case, it's still good cause I can just move on!

Reno Gym Run

Can't believe I got myself together to go to the gym today, but I did. I ran 3 miles on the treadmill and I walked a bit more, just to get to 10k. Too cold to walk outside today so I knew this was my opportunity if I was going to get it done. Anticipate a few more gym days in my future, actually. Then, hopefully, I'll be able to get back outside again. We'll see - winter is here!

Back on the TM at home

I have been running a little every morning on the TM here since coming home.  Don't seem to have much enthusiasm for it this week though and not sure why.  Miss my people watching at Chuze Fitness maybe!  Anyway, keeping at it.

Good luck in your search for a new gym!  Hope you find the perfect place.

Not sure what to say about the sneezing and allergies.  Hope you can figure it out.

I quit running at a mile this morning because I started coughing.  Thought I was catching a cold but the rest of the day has been ok.

More runs - and sneezing!

I ran yesterday and then had a crazy sneezing and nose blowing attack. Lasted until I went to bed. Woke up doing better this morning and continuing to get better throughout the day. I ran this afternoon and it didn't trigger another attack. Interestingly, I ate something with dairy in it at lunch yesterday. Today I read that exercise induced allergies don't have to have an underlying allergy, but they often do. So I'm going to go hard off the dairy again and see if I stop having these attacks. Of course, it could be an allergy to something in the air, but it has happened in Reno, Wisconsin (all inside running), and La Mesa. So kinda seems more likely that I'm doing something that is bothering me and then exercise is causing a full blown allergic reaction. We shall see, though! Today I started my gym investigations again. I visited one gym that is so so nice. It's big, it has lots of equipment, sauna, steam room, whirlpool, classes. But it's $75 / month! If I lived really close to it, I might figure out some way to justify it but 75 is just a real hard stop for me! I drove by another gym, too far away. Have one more to check out. Not sure what I'm going to do!

Back at it in Reno

Had about zero steps yesterday, due to my drive.  But today I ran 3 miles (super happy with my pace) and now I'm gonna go for a small walk.  Nice out, 50 degrees (above!!) at 7 pm.
