Really???? That's all you got?

Tuesday, April 24th

Treadmill day

As much as I like to say I loath that machine,

I also look forward to seeing what it can make me do

Yeah, yeah, I get all you people who discredit a run where outside forces propel you-

But hey, I bet you wouldn't call that dog chasing you to a new pr training run a cheat--- or what about that time you ran with an appointment breathing down your neck, and you ran wicked fast.....

Outside forces?

Right????

The run started out lovely

And by lovely, I mean PAIN

Yep, those minimal shoes from Friday really did a number on my calves

I was still insanely tight

Felt like my muscle would snap at any moment.

Took about a mile of this "I think I'm going to rip something" feeling to subside.

After that, a nice steady pace took over.

I ramped my speed up for the middle 2.5 miles

Then slowly ramped it back down to finish 4

I have a dentist appointment right afterwards...

So a courtesy shower is in order

Walk up to the counter and order a towel.

She hands me a washcloth

I say- "No- I need a big one"

She says-"That's all we got"

Really????

So I take my washcloth of a towel

And try to finagle my way through

Believe me-

If it wasn't my hygienist's birthday,

I'd have forgone the whole thing altogether

But Kristi is hands down the best

And I'd been flossing extra these last 6 months

On account of her telling me this appointment fell on her special day

Not going to spoil my thoughtful present with post run glisten.

Not today

4 miles down

Courtesy shower brought to you by a washcloth towel

And a 6 months of flossing birthday present

Guess what?

NO CAVITIES!!!!!!!
