The sweat smell of success!

02/03/09 Completed a 3.77 mile run in 31 minutes and 57 seconds.

 

05/03/09 Completed a 6.02 mile run in 49 minutes and 58 seconds.

 

I stagger in the door, crawl down the corridor, fall into the bathroom, pull my T-shirt off and throw it in the washing basket. Another run completed. I admire the smell in the bathroom, then make my way to the couch and take a well earned rest. 10 hours later. I stagger in the door, crawl down the corridor, fall into the bathroom, pull my T-shirt off and throw it in the washing basket. Another cycle home from work completed. Again I admire the smell in the bathroom and make my way to my second home, the couch.

 

This is all part of my new project to create an aromatherapy room in my own home - on a budget. It’s based around the idea that success is contagious, and I am using the medium of smell to transfer this success.

 

Through experimentation I have found that left to fester for only 6 to 7 days, this ever growing pile of moist cloth, can become increasingly pungent. I like to think of this as the ‘exponential growth of potential success’. Everyday I’m able to shower with this wonderful aroma seeping back into my pours - ever increasing my powers.

 

Two weeks ago I could only run 6 miles, last weekend I ran 13 miles, its working, what more proof do you need? It’s as scientific as holding a burning peanut under a flask of cold water to measure its calorific content – fool proof.

 

I’m less please to report that the girlfriend is not so fond of the smell. It fact she’s likened it to living in a sewer. Apparently these clothes should go ‘STRAIGHT INTO THE WASH!’. I’m starting to worry this may severely hamper my progress. Some people can be so inconsiderate.
