L'oreal Derma Genesis

This product is a good buy from L'oreal. At first I swear it felt like I was massaging mud on my face. But it gives a really thorough clean and it has these very tiny beads which are gentle on the face. My sister Dani has been an advocate of L'oreal and this is one of her latest purchases. I tried it just for the heck of it and surprisingly, L'oreal is good for sensitive skin. I did not have rashes and my skin on the face did not have any violent reactions at all. L'oreal is one of those mid-priced cosmetics in the market.

3-kilometer run

I tried a three-kilometer run this morning using my dusty elliptical strider. It was a deviation from my intended plan which is to go out of the house and really run around the subdivision but I woke up too late and the sun was already up when I got out of my bed.

So there goes a sudden change of plan: I instead used my old but seldom-used exercise machine and set the distance to 3 kilometers. Yes, just 3 kilometers, for a start. I haven't been running since September last year although I was getting back on track with my yoga for a little over two weeks now.

I find running hard and tedious, specially when I fall short of my breath. My 3-kilometer run was attended by several pauses such as when I have to catch my breath or I have to rest my calves. For a seasoned runner, 3 kilometers is just a breeze. But for me, who does not prefer heavy exercises specially in the morning, I find it really difficult. I finished my 3 kilometers in a over 12 minutes. And by then, I was sweating.

It was exhausting but definitely satisfying. I'm planning to join fun run this Sunday that's why I practiced running earlier today. Well, I still have three more days to practice running.
