I ran today

Looking like a stiff alienated creature with back-pain. But I did run. Worse parts were running downhill, where my whole body cramped up in the stiffest stick-shape it could produce and my face shaped as a wrinkled paper bag in agony, but also when I encountered other, slow runners. Then the competitive thrust kicked in and I looked like someone’s grandma trying to catch up with the naughty kids who’s annoyed the shit out of her. As you understand, it was beyond embarrassing. But I did run this morning.
