I ran 19 miles. That is not the point of this blog. You just need to understand that when I am done running 19 miles that I am very, very tired. And I don't smell good. I think if you stood beside me after that it would make you throw up a little. Bathing becomes very important. The first thing I do when I get home besides drink water is to wash the sweat off of me. I had an experience with my husband this weekend that went a little like this.
Me: (set the scene: in my basement bathtub) (picked up cell phone - call husband): I'd like to order a pizza for delivery.
Husband: You just ran 19 miles and you can't slow down to walk past the fridge and grab the left over pizza on your way downstairs?
Me: The plate would be too heavy. I am very tired.
Him: You can run for over three hours and you can't carry a plate?
Me: Yes, I am not worthy of you. Could you deliver a pizza to me?
Him: Yes.
Me: Is it too much to ask if you would warm it up. Not in the microwave, but in the oven, so it will taste yummy.
Him: Sure thing.
This is what he delivered to me.
Me: um, peaches and fruit dip?
Him: yogurt, not fruit dip.
Me: I ordered a pizza.
Him: This is better for you.
Me: I thought about pizza the entire last hour of my run.
Him: I don't want you to be crabby today so I thought you should eat something good for you.
Me: I am crabby because I didn't get a pizza.
Him: I'll bring you pizza.
Me: Do you mind warming it up in the oven.
Him: Sure thing.
15 minutes later.
Me: um, this is not pizza.
WHAT is it?
Him: It's a brei burrito.
Me: A what?
Him: A brei burrito.
Me: I can hear. I don't understand.
Him: A log of brei, rolled in croissant dough, with raspberry chipotle sauce.
Me: Wouldn't it have been less work to heat up my pizza? Didn't you say you'd get me pizza?
Him: Well I want you to be happy.
Me: Pizza makes me happy.
Him: Brei is good. If you are still hungry after you eat it, you can have pizza. Plus, cheese has calcium.
Me: There is cheese on pizza.
Him: Here, I'll cut it in half. You can eat your half?
Me: Now, I get
half a brei?
Him: I like to share with you.
