on sunday, i hit the roads...just 'cause. 'cause it was sunny and clear and i'd spent nearly the entire weekend indoors working. so i thought i'd treat myself to a short run.
'cept that it was colder than i'd expected and i felt like a 'tard in my shorts and tee, while everyone else that was out was in pants and jackets. my legs, arms, and hands actually turned red from the cold. and when i could manage to get my legs to move at a decent speed, i realized i hadn't let enough time pass for my lunch to digest. it felt like i was on the verge of a huge burp the entire time. (i've felt this every time i don't run in the morning)
i managed to eke out 2 miles, but it wasn't until i was nearly back home that i felt my legs warming up. too bad the rest of me begged to get back indoors. so my treat wasn't so pleasurable. but it feels good to be back in the running groove again, where on my off days i'm just itching to run.

I don't even want to know what "cold" in California is.
Ah, those running burps are the worst. And sometimes they're "vurps" and that means that food has definitely not settled. Ew. I totally know that feeling.
I agree with Jess..the vurps are the worst! wanna come run with me in -8 weather..with a nasty windchill?? Wes turned me down!
Good to have that feeling, even if not all your runs turn out great.
