I just hopped out the shower and am about to head out on a run. Now, I wouldn’t normally share my daily (most of the time) adventures in hygeine. However, this shower was noteworthy in that it happened BEFORE my run! How could I possibly so dirty that I felt it necessary to bath before a workout? 8 hours of spackling and sanding walls with paint (most likely lead based paint). I didn’t think that I could get any whiter than I already am, but sure enough I looking like frosty by 11 this morning. Ok, enough typiing… it’s time to run.
