Well, it was only a matter of time.
Reversion to the mean.
I stepped on the scale.
Blinked.
Holy Sh*t. An Explosion.
One month of late night snacking (will work it off tomorrow),
an extra portion here (will have a light lunch),
a candy bar or two there (will skip a meal),
and the Jenga Tower collapses (wiping out a 15 year record low).
So, I’m off. Running. Mianus River Trails.
Overdressed (way) for 32º F. Man wearing plastic suit on a hot summer day.
No dogs. No gadgets. No water. No people. No talking.
No fancy shoes. No fancy moisture wicking shirts.
No anti-chafe Body Glide balm for my Boobies.
No whining about the cold.
No complaining about the mud, the ice, the roots and the ruts.
No agonizing over turned ankles.
I will either levitate over all of it or mow it down.
And, Heaven help any chatty Human in the way of this-calorie-shedding-angry-middle-aged-bulbous-white-man.
We’re taking it all off, all of it, in one day.
Time Check: 7 miles. 1 hour 17 minutes.
Nap time.
I feel for the person who tries to smile at you while you’re in Rocky mode. Perhaps after you’ve had a nap. 😉
That’s right. Rocky. Rambo. Rolly-Polly. It’s all the same now.
Laughing – one of these things is not like the other…
Once you master the ‘taking it all off, all of it, in one day”, please let me know! Right behind you…
Laughing. I’m being working on this thesis for years.
I will live vicariously through you
Live on!
I know exactly what you’re talking about. One. Day. At. A. Time.
So glad, a kindred spirit.
Moving out of the way….
🙂
“And, Heaven help any chatty Human in the way of this-calorie-shedding-angry-middle-aged-bulbous-white-man.” LOL!!!
🙂
Laughing – not AT you. No. And, what Vicki said, please do tell. And, have you ever tried Bikram yoga? Stuff melts off of ya! Happy nappy.
Oh, I do believe you are laughing at me you kind spirited soul. I had the best 90 minute nap in weeks.
Well, maybe just a little? Love the nap report!
When I saw the title, I was going to say don’t push it on the first day back. I guess that point is moot.
Yep, Moot it was.
Man, Kanigan, you crack me up. I laughed like a fool all the way through this post. Loved the visual of the Jenga Tower crumbling, then could totally envision you out there, chewing up the trail, unsuspecting man, woman, child or dog be damned…. This is sooooo your métier, my friend. I pity the fool who crossed your path, and I sincerely hope your bathroom scale got the memo. Drop that number or else…. 😉
Laughing. Or else!
run, man, run. and please always take care of the boobies if nothing else )
Laughing. That’s so important!
So grateful you did it. I just had to read it to feel the calories burn. In my face muscles. When are we running again?
Soon. Very soon. (After I recover)
I SO resemble this post. Hold onto the anger. It provides momentum.
Laughing – In one day? Take as many as you want, Pal. 🙂
🙂 Laughing too.
