I finally received the okay from my doctor to run again!!!!
This morning as I blew the dust off my gym bag I smelt the faint odor of something rotten. Hmmm....I started to dig through my bag to find the guilty little cause.....a shriveled up rotten banana. After my "eww...gross" I tossed it in the trash and grabbed the bag and ran to the bus stop.
Funny thing about a rotten banana that has been sitting in a bag for the better of three weeks......it stinks along with everything in it.
I spent most of my day at work spraying my gym clothes, sneakers and ipod (funny how the metal can take in a smell as strong as rotten banana) with perfume.
My efforts were futile and as I changed into my gym clothes I realized it was going to be a long smelly workout, but nothing was going to ruin my first run back.
I was on the treadmill and feeling good.....my run was going well and I was pain free. Unfortunately for the people on either side from me I was not smell free and as I watch them keep turning their nose up and sniffing at the air trying to determine where the smell was coming from I wanted to scream at them "It is me, I smell like a rotten banana that fell into a bottle of chanel number 5"
But despite the fact that the smell rising off me was making me a bit dizzy and nauseous I pushed through and ran my first 2 miles sans pain and I think that is pretty darn BANANARIFFIC!
