Ouch!

This is what one must do after a 13 mile run...

1. You have to ice your knees with frozen peas for 20 minutes, if you get bored you can snack on the peas and gross out your significant other.

2. You have to go to the gym and sit in the jacuzzi to relax your hamstrings that feel like they have been tied into a million knots by an expert boyscout.

3. Stuff everything edible in sight into your mouth because you are so hungry nothing will fill your stomach, now known as the bottomless pit.

4. Whine and cry to your significant other about the pain of the blood blisters all over your feet, then beg him go to Longs Drugs to buy you special band-aids. This is so you can wear your favorite black stiletto high heels that same night when you go out for drinks with your girlfriends . Pain is beauty people.

5. The most important...tell every single person you come in contact with (even the clerk at am/pm) that you are training for a marathon. Then wait for their reaction...it is usually something along the lines of, "Why the hell would you do that?"



PS. My girlfriend Kelsie and I are running a half-marathon March 15...wish us luck!
