There's just nothing like a new bar of soap. All lathery and smelling good. It's crazy to look back and remember the days of going 5 straight days without a shower. Body cheese is a real thing people!! It almost could have been 1891 instead of 1991 when I'd roll into the motel on time off with my big bag. That's what I looked like, a dirty ass cowboy fresh off the trail.
Sometimes I fantasize about being a cowboy when I'm out running in the woods. In some ways maybe me and my friends aren't that much different from the old cowboys. We're out in the elements whatever they may be and we're pushing ourselves harder than most people. Although back in the day everyone worked their ass off just to survive, unlike nowadays.
Shan, Steve and I had a good 7 mile run yesterday morning. We did it in 1:08, a bit slow but Shan was coming off a 14hr day and I'm still sort of working my way back from minimal mileage and a cold. Some good news is that the weighted leg lifts I've been doing regularly really seem to be helping my knee pain.
