Long Thursday

Had a nice long day today that is just starting to wind down.
Did the running thing at lunch and finished of course but it was a tough mental run the whole 6 miles from start to finish. Had the normal things to deal with and then this new sensation from my new shorts riding up strange in the groin area…kinda tickled. Once I out ran that strange sensation I tripped over this root sticking up from a tree not quite at the half way point. I caught myself on my hands in some gravel but since I run with my lifting gloves on my hands I did not get scratched up. Plus my legs or knees never hit the ground. I ended up in a position like I was doing the crab walk like you do for football practice and slid a while. This isn’t our normal hot August at 100 plus degrees but was 86 degrees and getting a little warmer without much shade and the heat was radiating off the pavement but I used every mental trick I had to finish. I never should have let myself get this far out of shape I told myself as I ran.
The chef fixed me some more “Gourmet Chicken Wings”.
I have to buy some gifts for events this weekend and then I’m set ….I think.
