Chafed skin and bulgogi

There I am standing at the top of the stairs with just a shirt on and a 3x3 inch gauze bandage in my hand. In a slow deliberate voice I say, "what did you say?" Because I really don't like yelling across the house even tho I do it more often than I should. My wife says, "Stella is coming over to get the heater for her hedgehog cuz the poor thing is freezing!" I simply say "so you want me to stay like this?" My daughter then asks where I'm going!!!

I've been reading 'Born To Run' which is just giving me endless amounts of inspiration to run like I never have. Which is nuts cuz I've never liked running, but that's a whole nuther story. There was a small portion in the book that talked about a girl that worked in the Idaho forest all by herself. Every morning she would get up and put on only sneakers and run till her lungs burned and then turn around and come back. I'm wondering just how 'free' that might really feel. I recalled a girl from college named Penny who was very much into LSD at the time. She invited me to go tripping in the woods. She said we could go run naked. All I could think of were bugs biting my privates and getting a stray branch snagged on me as I swayed thru the thicket! hahaha So yah I never went on that trip. But maybe I missed out? Maybe running naked would be cool. Is there a naked marathon? Let me check. Pfft You know it!

So today I was on the treadmill, and I wore just boxers n shoes. I ran for just a little over an hour and got some mild chafing which is why I was standing on the top of stairs kinda miffed. I was hot, hungry, and I couldn't find any ace bandages or tape. Many simple lessons learned this evening there have been.

Finally, I went to get some food from the Korean grill. Bulgogi is just soo tasty to me right now. I love this little place that I finally went to over Xmas with my folks. There's not a lot of ethnic food here in Omaha, so it's pretty nice. The food tastes unlike the usual fare, meaning pretty good. It was near closing and the owner is so nice, she just loaded me up with stuff. I tried this purple cabbage salad today and it was ok, but the cucumber salad is still much better. I didn't have to the courage to try the seaweed today. I can only take so much salt :)
