WHY YOUR LEGS HURT

Because:

Finally the 8 month winter is over, and it is now rainy, hot, and humid. So you decided to ride your bike to the YMCA, utilize a guest pass / get on a treadmill.

You set it at 30 minutes because your friend says no less.

Done, what, you stretch and go on an elliptical machine - again with the 30. Friend advises a 500 calories burn. Again you sweat, yep,

and now think about the Natives...the lodges... and the UPS man out the window. Mainly you think about his sweet brown shorts.

Cool down, done and how. Line up, drink icy water, splash your face. It is illuminated, bright and shiny.

Exit, with each step a floaty glide. Like a boat, like a moon, like Jesus.

The bike ride home is down, downhill. You pass trucks and inhale small particles / gag slightly. It is weird how life continued during your hour away with machines. So you ride on, ride on. Tossing your prophetic hair, pausing only to buy a red toothbrush.

And so it has begun. EXERCISE.

24 + 12 hours later a confused muscular system awakens and burns. You flex thinking of the Body Exhibit. Are you broken? or revived?

Are you ever going to be able to use your legs again? What day is it? Who are you?
