After skipping the noon workout on Friday (I went with Mr. W’s coworkers to lunch as they wanted to treat him for his upcoming bday), eating the rare lunch and rich dinner out, having lunch out again today (P.F. Chang’s China Bistro), and making myself a grilled chicken quesadilla for dinner tonite, there are few things more guilt-quenching than feeling rivulets of sweat trickle down my lower back and between my breasts, dissipating into the elastic bands of the bottom of my sports bra and the waistband of my shorts, after a 3+ mile run as I sit here and type this.
And bunnies! I saw lots and lots of white cotton-tailed bunnies bouncing and pouncing and prancing on the rolling hills of the park we ran through! The hills were alive with the movement of bunnies! “Bunnies!” I said delightedly to Mr. W on the run, “What do you think they’re all doing out here?”
He said dully without looking around, “Breeding like rabbits.”
I examined the bunnies that darted off as we ran by, trying to catch some of them in x-rated bunny-style action. No luck. “Bunnies!” I said excitedly again. Aside from the sound of heavy rhythmic breathing, I got nothing back from Mr. W. “You don’t seem as impressed with the bunnies as I am,” I observed.
“I ain’t impressed with shit right now. I’m in pain,” he spat.
Footfalls in the silence. Pitter patter of our feet. “Bunnies,” I said quietly to myself.
I can’t believe Mr. W wasn’t as excited as you were watching bunnines pounce on the rolling hills…
so why was he in so much pain?
I know!! Can you believe that? Who doesn’t love bunnies?! I mean, you’re just jogging along, and then you look and all around…BUNNIES! (I sound like Lenny.)
He said that sometimes the body is just off for one reason or another. I had a sideache for the last mile and a half or so and I gritted my teeth and bore it.
Sounds liek a good run and it was so beautiful yesterday, too! I bet you had a great run. If you find an trails by his house that are not on cement or other hard surfaces, invite me!!!!
I ran 5miles on the treadmil last night and I wish I would have been somewhere else seeing bunnies!
but you have a TV when you run at the gym! You can see all sorts of stuff better than bunnies!
