Recipe for a Sunday run

Freshly baked run!
Ingredients:
1 runner
2 shoes
1 bottle of water
3 pieces of gum
12 miles
1 Bloody Mary
Bodyglide (optional)

Directions:
  • Put shoes on runner.
  • Be sure to double knot the laces, because they keep coming undone. (This annoyance might be enough to convince this runner to switch to barefoot running.)
  • Grease sides of runner with Bodyglide to prevent chafing.
  • Hand runner 1 bottle of water and 3 pieces of gum.
  • Push runner out the door.
  • Sweat at 73 degrees (yes, in January) for 2 hours, or until 12 miles are done. Whichever comes first.
  • Feed gum to runner if runner complains that it is too F#@$%ing hot for the middle of winter. (Repeat up to 2 more times. More than that, and the runner's jaw will seize up... which, on second thought, might be a good way to stop the runner's cussing about the heat...)
  • Add more water to achieve desired hydration level.
  • Top off with Bloody Mary when finished.
