Streakin'

A couple months ago I purchased a “package deal” that included several massages. I planned to save them for races, but decided to get a massage today. I asked the masseuse to work on my legs only. The masseuse must not be familiar with sports massages because she didn’t touch my IT band. She spent a majority of the time on my claves, which she said were tight.

This evening Andrea and I went to REI to listen to a presentation by Karen Somers about her Lone Star Hiking Trail guide book. Karen provided lots of great information during her discussion of the LSHT. Now I’m eager to thru hike the trail.

On tonight’s run Andrea wore the headlamp and I followed her lead. The air was clammy with zero movement. We only ran four miles, but it was another tough run.

I’m self-conscious about my weight. For that reason I seldom take my shirt off. Tonight I took my shirt off as soon as we entered the greenbelts (0.25 mile into the run) and never put it back on. I wish I was fit enough to run shirtless during daylight hours.
