twiggy

gentle rain arrives as step out door. to woods. plan to go short and fast and get back for most of football. trying to move faster but tightness of calves all too clear now. probably tight from snow runs. back and shoulders are tight too, from weights and computer hours. creeps up on you, tightness. if i ever massage one leg loose the contrast with the other one can be truly astonishing; you wonder how you moved at all with both like that; and how you didn’t notice. being stupid probably doesn’t help. follow mountain bikers along coach road but can’t keep up. go wide as approach phoebe and nearly run into twiggy tree. breathing hard up partridge lane - result of tight back, etc. back into woods. expect to meet phoebe coming back from coach road but don’t. fast finish. stretch watching football. mute sycophantic commentary. bet that lot have massage on tap.
