Side affects include chronic daydreaming of new personal bests in the middle of work presentations, catching and (hopefully) stopping yourself from relieving yourself in the grocery store as you practice hook-breaths, feeling conflicted about conducting a facial immersion in your company's holiday party punch bowl, and asking complete strangers if they would mind lubing you up?
