Getting elevated

This morning at the gym a few people wore elevation training masks for a greater challenge.  Apparently these masks help the user build endurance, enhance lung capacity, and improve overall performance.  You can adjust various settings in order to simulate being anywhere from 3,000-18,000 feet above sea level.
What’s funny is that they look like gas masks.  It’s just an odd thing to see!!  But I got a kick out of it and if fitness freaks at my gym are using them, I want in too!! 
I’m not saying I could function well (or at all) with one during a workout yet, but I could wear one around the house to begin getting acclimated.  I can just imagine someone ringing my doorbell and then the look on their face when I answer with the mask on!
Better yet, what if I wear it at work while at my desk??  Or driving in my car??  Oh the looks I would get!  [You should see the huge grin on my face as I seriously consider doing this….]
Hmmm….  Why yes, I do believe I should order my mask today….
