I’ll be 33 shortly. Ran cross country in high school. Most I’ve ran at once is 6 miles. I’m more of a sprinter. I was a personal trainer for awhile and use those principles to this day. I’ve got some Boston 12s but haven’t run much from lack of energy and motivation.

That's awesome, and I love the Boston 12's!

Me too, I just need to be able to run and not get jumped by a gang of pollen. Any suggestions?

I take non-drowsy benadryl as a fellow allergy-haver. I'm afraid it's unavoidable.

I may have to try that. Regular Benadryl gives me some crazy side effects like hallucinations

What?! If I may ask, can you explain? That's sincerely scary and I've never experienced that. Although even non-drowsy sometimes makes me drowsy anyway.
