When you can't run suddenly everyone's a runner. Everyone's running. Old people... young people...they are everywhere and they all look fast. Yesterday I was walking and a mom and her infant son ran by. "Oh he was running by six months" she yells as she flies by trying to keep up with him. I would have answered back but there was a curb coming up and I needed to conserve my strength.
Another little secret is that when I don't run I have a tendency
to get a little cranky. Oh it's hardly noticeable I'm sure but it's
there. It's not helped however by the
out of shape over eating television watching non exerciser who sees me moving a
little slower and a little guarded and remarks "Yeah, that's why I don't
run". My inside voice mutters
something about a lazy snack munching slob but my outside voice say
nothing. I simply smile and slide the
box of donuts a little closer to his outstretched sausage fingers.
I'm closing in on getting back to it and I can't wait. To reconnect with friends, run off stress,
and simply enjoy "being out there" will be great. It won't be long until you begin to say to
yourself "What the F, is the only thing that guy can post on facebook is
how far he ran today? Yes my friends,
that will be a good day....
Good one, Mikey, I'll be better able to resists donuts now just thinking about sausage fingers! Not a happy thought.
