Believe to Achieve

Ran in the country in a town North of Summit thirty miles from Jordanelle reservoir.  We had the pleasure of staying in a  large nice cabin with all the modern day amenities!!  Got up waiting for the sun to rise so daylight and a reflection of sunshine so decided to get going at 8am so I could be back to make breakfast with my husband for everyone.  I ran a very hilly course much like You've Gotta Be Kidding in the Wasatch Back Relay.  At least 2.5 miles of steep terrain.  The downhill was tricky as my rib cage is still sore and some residual snow pack on the road making for some possible slipping.   The way up was great no snowpack as sun must get this area more during the day.  I did a loop.  Later in the day we drove to a place nearby where I ran so I clocked it on my car (the first half) and ran that steepness in 26 minutes and it was 2.25 miles.  I knew I started slow due to my guarding of possible spasm and joint pain everywhere ( my brother in law who invited us there had put on very strong cologne, he tried to wash it off for me but it was still hanging on his clothes- so my headache stayed on and joint pain progressed thru the night there).    Funny thing is he hates cologne but he put it on because he had a job interview. Why?  Do people get jobs based on smell?  I sufferered for that one.   I genuinely hope all of you readers never get this allergy but if you do you become way more concerned about your environment that you almost feel as an outcast.  Outdoor allergies that most people do get to pollens etc... have better medicines for them and removal techniques.  Researchers still don't know where the allergy for chemicals lie and therefore traditional antihistamines do not work on them.  Instead a strict diet and probiotics is prescribed after finding food allergens thru testing and pending help in the future by detoxifying.  Okay I went off on a tangent.  I came back a longer way to make it about 5.2 miles (58 minutes).    Was very joint tired.  The air probably has less oxygen too.  The elevation is greater here by a margin.
