15 - Burrito Bowl Crawls

What's more fun than running a 10k and then toweling off quickly and picking up Chipotle while still literally sweating? Everything. Everything is more fun than that.

Running Song of the Day:

I don’t know much about music, but I know when the second part of this song (which I guess is “The Lightning Part II” technically?") I am absolutely ignoring all the pain receptors in my body and running as fast as I can at that moment while I hear “WAITING ON THE LIGHTNING” over and over in my ears.

If you can find it (yoo hoo hoo, if you know what I mean) they did a great performance of this song on SNL a few years ago, but for some reason it’s been pulled from Youtube completely and copyrighted by NBC whenever someone shared it in some way. If it’s your type of thing, definitely look it up and watch it, great great performance.

Today’s Run:

74°. Freeze time forever in this day and let me run this temp forever.

The overall “plan” for today had my in-laws coming over to see the baby, with various baby feeding and nappings interspersed throughout. I was going to make dinner in the slow cooker, and then the better half of Mike V. and I would do our taxes, and then around 8:00 or 9:00 at night I’d go to the park and bang out a 10k.

O’ what a jolly good plan that the gods like to shit all over.

In-laws arrived later than planned. Baby didn’t feel like sleeping. I totally forgot to start dinner and by the time I realized, the window was closed. In-laws decided to leave early, baby decided to eat and nap. I eyeballed the clock and decided I could sneak in a 10k, even with my bum knee.

Conferred with Mrs. Mike V. and we decided I’d order and pick up Chipotle after the run.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Did my run along the hill route. Good effort but not killing myself. Took longer than I allotted myself. Got home, in order to eat within a good time frame, I’d have to skip the shower and just wipe myself down with a towel a few times, change into good clothes, and go get Chipotle.

“I had a lot of fun running this 20-flat-20 set today” SAID NO ONE EVER

So, that’s what I did. I still haven’t showered yet, as baby is about to begin bedtime routine and such. I’m not sure if we’re doing taxes tonight, or if the HIT MAX TV SHOW THE PITT STARRING NOAH “THE PITT VIPER” WYLIE will invade our eyeballs and we will laugh and cry and fart at the wonderful boob tube television picture hahaha yes, YES, give me that wonderful mindless garbage that masquerades as meaningful commentary YES, HAHA FUCK YES DRILL A HOLE IN SOME GUYS FUCKING HEAD, YES, SHOW IT, SHOW IT ALL, SHOW A BABY CROWNING THROUGH A WOMAN’S VAGINA I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW.

I’m getting a little loopy. My body is in pain most days but the runs continue.
