Starbucks and Tan Lines






...and the rest of my jog back...



is coffee a good post run recovery drink? i'm kidding....kind of. my runs often seem to end at a Starbucks (pure coincidence, i'm sure!!). anyways....i sit here drinking my coffee after a short 20min jog along the Victoria waterfront in the evening sunshine. spectacular! i should run more often to keep loose, i'm told. to make sure my body remembers how to turn my legs quickly and keep nimble feet. yesterday i walked/ran 02:30:00 (20km) along the road and felt pretty good. my hips and knees were tight today but no real muscle pain. my body is learning to recover well. this is good! so tonight's jog was just for fun, to keep my muscles soft....and to sweat in the sunshine and work on my tan lines. i have a multitude of tan lines, mostly across my back where various sports bras and tanks have left their mark, branding my skin as i run in the sunshine. i am ok with this. it makes me feel like an authentic runner, as if this is proof that i do get out there.
