18ck Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Ugh! I went to the gym for my run for complicated reasons to do with shower strategy. Ugh! I HATE gyms*! D'you know that scene in Jurassic Park where Jeff Goldblum says "T-Rex doesn't want to be fed, T-Rex wants to hunt"? Well my feet don't want to go on a treadmill, they want to run. Gravel, mud, trees, wind in the face, jumping over stuff that gets in the way... You know, like the mammals we are! *=spellcheck wants to change this to "I hate guns" which us also a sentiment I would support.
