I had a decent run today, which is great EXCEPT I was anticipating a crappy run since I ate pizza for lunch. There goes my anti-dairy theory. I'm thinking it's probably best to opt out of milk and cheese for the long run anyway, but yeesh. This self-experimentation isn't really giving me anything useful to go on.
I used the treadmill in my apartment building's "Micro Gym" today. Generally, I prefer Globo Gym for my workouts because then I can sit in the sauna afterwards for some uber-relaxation. But my husband needed the car today to attend a conference nearby, so Micro Gym worked just fine for me. I can work up a good sweat in any location.
And work up a sweat I do. Nobody looks at me after a good gym session and says "Gee, Nicole didn't push herself that much." Most people think I went for a swim - fully clothed.
Should I be embarrassed by how much I sweat? According to this article, there are some who think so.
I don't get that at all. You work out, you sweat. Even when I was running my fastest, was at my lightest weight, and pounding pavement in the bleak middle of January in New Jersey, I would sweat. Nothing a quick shower can't fix. Maybe everyone in this article needs to come spend some time in Florida for a day or two, where all you have to do is blink and your eyeballs will start to perspire. I mean, really.
