I really want to RUN

Tonite, after it rained, while it was still misty and thundering in the distance, I took a walk. On my way home I ran the last half mile or so. I REALLY love the feeling of running. It is just awesome. I remember running on the track team in high school. Okay, running in Florida is never fun, unless you run it the rain. However, my high school was in Palm Beach and we would run on the bike trail along the intercostal. I loved sprinting more than anything...loved it!
The deal is, I had to put the breaks on my beginning running program (that I devised myself from internet reading) because of my stupid hives. However, I took my Xyzal today. Then, tonite, when I walked about 3 miles and just *had* to run home, I did and "Look Ma..no hives!" Granted I ran to the shower after getting a huge glass of water. I grabbed some of the ice out and ran it over my face and neck while I took a cold shower. That may have helped head off the hives too. Anyway, I am feeling kinda hopeful again. Yeah!

~Peace,

I'm gonna try it (fingers are crossed)

It is an awesome day outside. Just to clarify for you sun worshipping types, an awesome day, to me, is one that is extremely cloudy, breezy, and gray.  A perfect day, to me, would be gray clouds and rain all day long.  I was born on Long Island, New York, in the town of Southampton. I lived there until I was 8 years old, then we moved to Florida (YUK!!!!!!! The ONLY thing I liked about Florida was hurricane season because we got so much rain).

Every Summer I went back to the Hamptons and the weather there is very, well...English. Out on the Island there is a lot of drizzly rain, overcast skies...it's fabulous!!! Here is a picture of a rainy golf course in Southampton in June. (I don't know who the guy is.)  Sure there are beautiful sunny days. But the rain....oh the rain. So, today looks like a Southampton day. I have taken both kinds of antihistamines and I won't push myself too hard, but I HAVE to get outside today. My hives have cleared so, please, God, keep the them away.
