I made it! I dragged myself out of bed
and down to the gym. And I did not just make it there. Oh no. I even
exercised. SOMEONE GIVE THIS WOMAN A MEDAL. To my relief, everyone
had their arses safely tucked inside their pants this morning, and my
training there was as vanilla as it usually is. I'll take vanilla over half-naked arses any time.
Recycled photo, because why not. |
Then I ran home, taking a detour so
that I'd run the 8km my training schedule dictated. Although I could
see the sun coming up on the horizon, in the part of the sky directly
over my head floated snow clouds that dumped tiny little delicate
white flakes on my head and in my nostrils. I listened to music but I
also listened to my body. How was my foot doing? Was it tense or was
I imagining things? I spent half the day yesterday massaging it
frantically and I wondered if that actually made it worse. Can a
tendon be too supple? I obsessed. If I got distracted for a second,
like if a great song came on, the foot went quiet. But if I paid it
any attention, I got paranoid. Is my foot an attention whore? Is this
a cry for help?
Well, as long as it doesn't hurt, eh?
