I'm shocked no one noticed your shirt at the gym. The medal with the forever lazy is a classic post-race look for you.

I actually didn't feel too bad until about 24 hours after the race ended last year. I stiffened up. A ultra veteran told me to chug water until I felt like I was going to float away. Within 4 hours, I was feeling so much better. It was pretty amazing.Jessica Karazsia (@irun26at8)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616274772894665823noreply@blogger.com
