massage report

Went for my first ever massage yesterday. Was a nice time...didn't hurt as much as people said it would...the guy said that next time he would "go deeper". He said he wanted a relaxing time the first time. A few things I learned: shave my legs; cannot believe I forgot!! Poor fellow. Wear better underwear!! Obviously, he was very professional and courteous but I was wearing some "fart catchers". Not real flattering. I was nervous and talked for the first several minutes until he said, "You don't have to talk if you don't want to." Okay, I have permission to shut the hell up and relax!!
Have to do a run today. Taking Mr. M to soccer, my mom is coming to pick them up from soccer so they can spend the night at her house, and then I am doing my run. I never run in the evening. This will be different, but the only time I could get it done. Swimming tomorrow morning. I am looking at the forecast and thinking of changing my bike ride to Thursday afternoon...supposed to be 25 degrees and sunny. Better than the rain and cooler weather forcast for Friday. Have booked both Thursday afternoon and Friday morning off and will see what is what tomorrow...

hey -i tried to lure you into riding with me wed afternoon....guess not? i am juggling crap this week as well. You should try my massage girl out. It's more relaxing for me when a girl does it. The 6 foot animal that rubbed me down once CLIMBED on the table and almost straddled me. I thought the table was gonna bust and we'd colapse into a awkward heap on the floor....lol plus he had hairy arms and I could feel it ..eewwwyy!!!

Congratz on your first massage.

Funny story...my last massage, almost two weeks ago, I said to my massage therapist:

"Melissa, what I am about to say to you has probably never said to you by a guy before. But I just want to apologize up front b/c I haven't shaven my legs this week. Now I know you don't hear a guy say this to you everyday on your table but I'm a triathlete...a lot of guys in the tri-world shave their legs. Anyways, if it feels too uncomfortable on your hands I understand".

I looked up from the table at Melissa and her face went blank for a second before she burst out into a laughing fit and said:

"No Shannon, I have never had a guy say that to me before...I don't mind at all that you didn't shave your legs...I haven't shaved mine this week eiter."
