Priorities (II)

It is now time for a soft week with some easy training and recovering (from the previous more intense training). Yesterday during the 9 km round, I recalled that this is not my favourite season for running. I suffer from pollen allergy, in particular tree pollen (hazel, birch, oak etc.). But this year has been quite gentle to us allergic people. My best prevention is to stay indoor, and if I need to get out, I prefer later at dawn. At this time, wind is gone and the moisture in the air is higher. I also use eye drops to prevent any inflammatoric response (I've had it with that). Your immune system will also be affected and that's why it is easier to get the flu (which I did) or something else. The good thing with this season is a nice temperature (10 -15 ºC) so that you avoid too much of sweating during training. I've just watched the weather forecast for the rest of the week and it looks quite promising, 10 -15 ºC and some rain (which will hopefully be gone by saturday).
