we ran twenty-six quarters for the workout today. i was really hoping it was a typo in the e-mail from coach. after all, the 2 is right next to the 1.
it wasn't a typo. twenty-six quarters it was.
padilla and i switched off leading each one, and we both felt ridiculously good. we were hitting 69s like clockwork, never going over 70, and on the last one he went 56 and i went 57. it felt great. it surprised me.
i went and paid my latest speeding ticket today. i paid twenty dollars of it in pennies (thirty-eight penny rolls, and one hundred unrolled pennies), partly to express my discontent with the escambia county sheriff's office and its employees, but mostly just to be an asshole. the look on the girl's face was great. wish i'd had a camera.
thinking about what could've been right now is the worst. not even that it doesn't exist anymore. not even that it probably never will again. just where i'd be right now. right this second.
