Ahhh....Ahhh...Ahh-Choooo!

I have had the strangest thing happen.  I have been running about 10-15 miles a week for about a 3 months now.  I have always hated running, but now seem to long for it!  (Weird...I know!) I actually find it really relaxing.  Well, several times after my longer runs, I start sneezing...really sneezing.  My eyes start watering, and my nose starts running...really running...I mean Boston Marathon pace running!  This usually lasts anywhere from 2-36 hours.  Very strange.  Yesterday morning it happened again.  It was like an instant cold!  Today....gone.  I decided to google it last night, and found that, no, I am not allergic to exercise...it's something that a lot of people have.  Over 50,000 items popped up.  

I did find some theories that it has to do with your body temperature, air temperature, having too much histamine, and getting rid of toxins.  Basically it boils down to exercise-induced allergies, and they don't know what causes or cures it. So strange! 

Have you ever heard of this before?

Luckily, it does not happen every time I run.  But it's not going to keep me down! :)

2010 Goal - Run 500 miles...22.8 completed to date!

Back-Blogging update

I already confessed that I am guilty of back-blogging, so while I sit in bed recovering from the stomach flu, I thought I would catch up....check out July-Sept. so far.  :)

A little get away

Eric had a business meeting in San Francisco last week, so luckily the boys got to stay with grandma, and we snuck off for a few days.  The first night we stayed in South San Fran for his meeting, then the next day we headed into the city.

We stayed at Parc 55.  What a great location and view from our room! 

Right across from shopping too!  

We shopped for most of the day on Thursday, then took the trolley down to Pier 39.

 

Alcatraz at sundown

On our way out on Friday, we even went to lunch at a featured "Man vs. Food" restaurant...Tommy's Joynt. 

What a nice break with my best friend!

HaPpY nEw YeAr!!!

January 1st, 2010!  Wow!

Is it just me, or does it seem like we just had just stocked tons of water bottles, canned food, generators, and a months worth of necessities in our garages, waiting for the unknown to happen when the clock hit 12:01 a.m. in the year 2000?

So hard to believe that was 10 years ago!

Well, on to today....being January 1st, it's always a day of inspiration, motivation and ambition!  Most people choose to, "make a resolution, not to make a resolution".  Personally, I am not.  Hey, if you don't succeed fully with your resolution, the "Resolution Police" are not going to arrest you, and you may have not achieved your goal, but maybe made progress that you might not have made before.

So, here it goes...really I am not posting this for anyone to say "good job", or "your crazy", but more for a record for me to look back on.  :)

1.  To run 500 miles this year

Do you have any resolutions?  Want to join me on mine?  :)
