I might be embarrassing myself a little when I post this, but I wanted others to know in case no one ever told them either.
DO NOT eat a breath mint before you go on a run!!!
We went to Mingo Falls to run the 300 steps for exercise yesterday evening, and I thought it would be a refreshing taste to have a breath mint in my mouth while I ran. I know, you runners are saying, "Dummy!!!" I could not catch my breath and it felt like my heart was going to pound out of my chest. Not to mention I was dying laughing at the sight of my husband trying to beat his 2 young sons up the stairs. It felt like I was on top of the ALPS trying to catch my breath. The air was so cold to breathe in because of that stupid mint!!! Needless to say, I lost the race up the hill...real bad!! So, this is my attempt to let anyone else know who hasn't been told. If you want to have a fresh pallet before you run, take a swig of water before you run instead, stay away from wintergreen or spearmint!!
