bile in the mouth, trying to choke it back, forcing my body against its will to run every lap.
The taste of exhaustion is bittersweet because today I ran every step of the way. Today was a day for the coaches to watch our running form and my form was on point.
But when it was time to do our stretches, I was feeling some heavy discomfort on my left side, which to my chagrin was a pulled muscle. So tonight I was writing and icing my muscles and I am hoping that tomorrow when I get up I will have the familiar ache and stiffness, but that I will be ready to go tomorrow for swimming.
And I definitely want to be ready for Thursday's longer run.
Each day I learn what exhaustion tastes like: today exhaustion tastes like muscles resisting what the mind wants it to do.
I hope tomorrow's exhaustion tastes better.
