Don't read this post while you are eating.
I can confirm that there is nothing quite as horrible as having a hayfever sneezing bout and trying to run at the same time. Even worse than that, all this happens whilst I am running with Mrs. B whom we know from previous posts frowns upon the clearing of ones throat whilst exercising. Heaven forbid if you innocently try and clear your nose.
So, I must have sneezed about 20 times on the bounce (twice) whilst running through the pollen laden lanes of Somerset yesterday. As if running and sneezing is in itself not enough of a challenge, (you tend to veer violently to the left as you sneeze I found), try that whilst at the same time defing yourself the luxury of clearing your nose. It's horrible. Not for publication before the watershed. Because you end up with hayfever-snot flooding down your shirt. See, I told you it wasn't pleasant. I got to the point, in 28 degrees of heat where you simply cannot breathe any longer through your nose and as such, you become so thirsty it gets beyond the point of fun.
Breath through your nose and start sneezing or breath through your mouth and suffer dehydration.
Nice choice.
That and turning up home after the run at the in-laws to find that everyone has had tea and left you little to eat sums it up as a tough run.
