YSL: Poetry Friday

Design Flaw
A Haiku

Thirteen sleek cutouts
Makes helmet light, keeps head cool
Perfect for winter.

Falling
The smell of chlorine makes me laugh.
The sight of winter dirt all over my bike
is nice, too.
I don't struggle to find my gear anymore.
I see my friends
on Tuesday nights
and we go for "easy five-milers"
and I look forward to it.
I fell the other day
and got to do nothing for two
and was cranky.
Is this what they call
Turning the corner?

No real activity for the past two days. Sat in a hot bath night with Time magazine for twenty minutes and then stretched and gave myself an ice massage. Yikes. As if my poor, stressed-out winter skin needed any more on its plate! Sheesh.
Pretty blue last night for not getting to do anything. Ate an enormous roast beef sandwich in lieu of my tempo workout.
Coach Mike says rest and ice; Jim says being blue will slow down the recovery. I saw, just lemme back on the fricken horse already. :(
It's better today--not as stiff. I get to hop on the bike today for a short time, see how it is. Maybe I'll go to the pool tonight for some pull laps.
