Friday Night

My training does not have me run on Monday, Friday or Saturday. However, until my long runs on Sunday become over 9 miles I will run a little bit on Saturday as well. I go to the Y and workout on Monday and Friday. I will resume SPA DAY again on Mondays when my Sunday runs get long once again. SPA DAY consists of me sitting in the corner of the pool at the Y at 5:45AM. I sit there for about 20 minutes and stretch. I don't swim I just hover in the corner. I tend to freak out  the old ladies in swim caps. I think they think I am stalking them - I am not. After the pool, I sit in the sauna . . .usually alone . .however a stray old man occasional wanders in. Old men have no shame. I will leave it at that. I risk injury when I run too much without giving my body rest. . .I have learned that the hard way over the years. I have learned pretty much everything the hard way over the years. I look forward to my runs tomorrow and Sunday. I look forward to getting "out" in the world again. On the days that I don't run I feel like I used to when I was ten and my best friend left on the train for vacation. I know that he will be back but I know that I won't be the same until he returns.
