Wednesday 5 Minute Freewrite - "Sweating"

Today is Wednesday. Alright, all clear now, "sweating" is today's prompt.

Now that I have straightened that out, back to the topic on hand.

I live in Puerto Rico. Our seasons are warm, hot, and hotter. Sweating is a daily occurrence, and practically unavoidable regardless of the time of year. It is usually a nuisance when getting ready for a romantic evening, or trying to straighten my hair.

There is, however, a time when I love to sweat. I remember going to saunas with my father and sweating, it felt good. When I exercise I love to sweat. If I am not sweating, I do not feel like I worked out at all. When I have to mow the lawn, or do work outside, I also love sweating. Somehow it makes it all worth it. I look at my sweat-drenched shirt and think "Yes, that was worth it". To me, it feels like proof of a job well done.

Sweating is also good for you. The most important things to remember after a good sweat are to drink plenty of water, and equally important, take a good cool shower!
