or protective mask or gas-mask...a big black strappy thing we wear on our face to protect us from bio-chemical agents. It has several filters that make breathing a whole lot more challenging. You sound and look kind of like Darth Vader wearing this thing.
To clarify what Rachel just wrote about me running with a gas-mask on...since I think that is the first time that she has mentioned it. Since we have returned from mid-tour leave, where I got pneumonia, my run time has suffered getting over the crud. So to more fully engage my intercostals and diaphram I started running wearing this cruel, black, suffocating, face-octopus for my 2s and 3s and squats and chin-ups...brutal but effective. It did cut almost 90 seconds off of my run time.
Back when I was in the Marine Corps, PT or chores wearing a pro-mask was for special occasions like corrective training or group punishment. It was also used to boost an individual's, MY, motivation, which would seem counter-productive but I can assure you from intimate personal experience that it worked with wicked elegance.
Just a quick back-brief. "Squirrel!..."
