new things in running

-i have begun to smell like ammonia.....bleh. what it means is there are not enough sugars in my body for the long runs i am taking. my body begins to breakdown amino acids, protein, in order to get energy. i have changed that by eating more carbs than i normally do the day before a long run, and drinking gatorade too, which helps. no more ammonia sweat.

-also, twice now i have noticed a dusty substance on my skin after a good run. the first time i thought it was because chicago is dirty. but then i realized it was dried sweat salt. awesome. if i don't shower and go out for fries, i can just rub them on my face to season them. also, chicago IS dirty.
