Fantasy

The ALDS game 2 with the Yankees vs. Tigers is currently in a rain delay. I just put in the 2nd load of my laundry and have eaten my dinner. As I await to see if they might get this game in, i'm rubbing the arches of my feet and calf muscles. My legs are more sore today after my 3.5 miles speed workout than the 10 miler I did over the weekend. It was 30 degrees warmer during this workout than my long run a few days ago, so that may be part of the reason. I can't believe how much earlier it's getting dark now. By the time I got home and got changed into my running gear, it was 6:45 pm. 15 minutes into my run, the sun had pretty much set. There are lights at the track I was doing my 1600 meter repeats but they didn't turn on. During my second repeat, I saw lightning in the distance. It was a pretty cool sight but for safety reasons, I decided to cut this workout short and head home.

I have a fantasy of coming home after a run and having my guy stretch me. Then, as I take a shower, he'll prepare my post-run meal with a 4 to 1, carb to protein ratio to help my glycogen stores for my next run. After we share this meal together, we kick back and he rubs my feet and legs to help flush the lactic acid from my sore muscles while watching whatever game is on. Yes, I know it sounds selfish, but if you know me, you know this is exactly what I would do for my man. I like to care for and nurture the person I care about. To be involved and help him with whatever makes him tick. I have yet to find that person who reciprocates this sentiment. Still, i'm going to dream - I won't give up hope and remain a hopeless romantic. Settle for no less than what i'm willing and wanting to offer.
