pollen overdose

went to the gym this morning early - yeah!! what i love about going early is that i am all ready for the day by 9am. sa-weeet! ran 3.5 miles at a fast pace. felt a little rusty the first mile but was in the zone after that. did some leg and back weights. hope to get to the gym at least three times a week now and keep up with the weights. my eyes were so SO SO itchy after the run yesterday. i think going to the gym early (if i can get my sleepy self out of bed) a few mornings a week will help. at least until this pollen is under control because it is totally outta control. yesterday, the kids looked up and asked me why there was a low yellow cloud floating above the trees. yea. it, was a yellow cloud of pollen. ugh. here are two pics from yesterday. i love seeing how green the view from the first bridge looks now. it is gorgeously green compared to almost two saturday's ago.

So pretty! Hopefully the pollen will be under control soon!

Nice place to run!

I take OTC allergy med. a lot lately! We've got the yellow pollen, too.

Have you tried local honey from a beekeepter in your area? I think it is really helping me. I have 2 teaspoons per day. One is usually on buttered toast. :-) I found it at a local butcher shop, the farmer's Cooperative store, and a hardware store.

I LOVE that quote "Discipline without desire is drudgery." Good for us runners to hear!
