Top Ten List
The following is a list I compiled throughout the day of the Top Ten Ways To Know One Is Training Hard For A Triathlon With No Taper In Sight:
10) Your list of body parts that ache now outnumbers the list of body parts that do not ache.
9) Instead of saying things like "my left achilles hurts or my left knee hurts or my left hip hurts" you say "my left side is not doing too good", thereby expediating the process.
8) Quite simply, your hunger cannot be contained.
7) When you show up at the YMCA for the 2nd time in a day the lady at the front desk asks if you are back or if you just never left.
6) You want to physically hurt the driver in front of you on your commute in for their erratic driving which has forced you to push your clutch in hard and fast several times. See reference about left side of body not doing good.
5) Your pace lags on rounds prompting not one but two comments from attending physician as to why you are so slow today.
4) You want to wring aforementioned physician's neck when he decides it's a good idea to skip the elevator ride and walk the steps instead from floor 4 to floor 8.
3) You get about halfway to the YMCA for your morning swim before you realize you never put your contacts in. The scary thing is, until that point you hadn't noticed how blurry things looked.
2) You cannot wait to attend the Olive Garden's endless pasta bowl night because for the first time in a very long time you are really going to get your money's worth!
1) You wake up in the morning and are certain that a truck must have run over you during the night. You then remember the morning not so long ago when you actually did wake up after being hit by a truck and you suddenly think your current state could be MUCH worse and you are very happy and life goes on...
Have a great weekend everyone!
