Oh, the pain.....

So there's this nice guy who also happens to be sponsoring all my coworkers for a charity walk/run. It's a fund raiser in memory of a kid who died, and it goes to a scholarship fund. What a great thing.

Now, last year, about 15 people were sponsored by this very nice guy. Apparently, 1 person showed up for the run . In my defense, I was on call. OK, I wouldn't have gone anyway. Running is soooooo not my thing. Unless I'm being chased.

Anyway, new year, 15 new people. Well, 14 plus me recycled in a second fellowship. 15 people sponsored for this walk/run. How many are going to show up? Well, I've sort of made it my mission to make damn sure there's at least one. Me.

What was I thinking?

The first day I ran, my fine submissive told me to stretch, to reduce the burning the next day. Great, I had a;ready done that. Two hours after my run, I was walking funny and my thighs were already burning. Oh, the pain!!!!!

Perhaps I exaggerate a bit......

But I carried on. I've run several times now. I've worked through the chest pain, the leg pain, the blisters, the burning throat, the tequila, the..... never mind.

It's really only about 3 miles. But it's been over 10 years since I ran more than a few minutes. This is gonna suck....

But there will be someone from my group running for that kid, and for the very nice guy.
