I don't know what was running through my head when I was thinking this but on the 7th of this month, I decided that I was going to grow out my beard until the day after Christmas. There's no rhyme or reason, I just felt like giving myself a challenge.
I have tried letting my beard grow out for a month many times before but I always end up shaving it on the third week.
Third week is always the worse for me since that's when my face starts becoming all itchy. Soon after the itchiness goes away, I seem to not be able to feel any sensation on the skin under the beard. I assume if I am finally able to deal with not being able to feel anything on the skin under my beard that I will finally be able to complete one of my beard challenges. I am going for a record this time (personal record anyways) and I hope I am able to stick with it.
Lot of people are telling me I should shave it off already because they think I look better without facial hair. This challenge of mine is not meant to attract any ladies which is why I choose not to care what everyone says. Personally, I enjoy having some stubble on my face regardless of what others think.

Pain
I played a game called Wallyball last week. Think of it like volleyball in a closed room and you can use the walls to bounce the ball from. It's a very fun game and I can't wait till I play again...that is, after I recover from my injury.
I messed up my right shoulder returning a serve and now I get a sharp pain on my shoulder when I move my arm a certain way. Good news is that I don't think it's anything serious since I feel less and less pain as the days pass. We were suppose to play again this but I told them I wanted to rest my shoulder till I am all better. It's sad because I really wanted to play.
I did learn something from injuring myself and playing though. First thing I learned is that is you haven't been active for a good while, make sure to take it easy and don't do whatever activity it is your going to do for too long. Why, you ask? Because your ENTIRE body will be sore for the next three days.
I hurt so bad that I looked liked a had just crapped my pants anytime I went up or down stairs. Second thing I learned is to make sure to stretch before playing anything as physically demanding as Wallyball. I am sure if I would have stretched, I wouldn't be having problems with the shoulder.
You live and you learn, I guess.
I apologize for any errors encountered on the post. I did all the typing on my phone and proof reading on a small screen is a beotch. I will correct if need be or if I am told I aintz done made sense.
