Ah, spring is here

"Notice the color purple" (The Happiness Project)
What a gorgeous time of year! Birds are signing and so much is in bloom. The downside is allergies. I used Simply Saline nasal spray and downed a Claritin D before setting off for a 20 mile ride yesterday. I have to do this year round now as my allergies have been wicked this year. I've also had asthma for the first time in my adult life. Yesterday's ride was the best I've had in a long time with regard to allergies. Usually, my eyes start weeping and my nose runs the entire ride. Attractive! Exercising is so much more enjoyable when you can see & breathe.

Do you have allergies? Have you found ways to effectively manage them?

Glad you're able to enjoy your rides now1 I've found vision to be especially helpful. :)

Another ride today and again, my eyes weren't weeping. Hallelujah!

I did, however, leave behind my water bottle's neoprene sleeve on the hottest day of the year so far. D'oh.
