Race from the Run to the Bathroom
Nicoletta returned home after a vigorous run in the park her tight leggings and light tracksuit making her feel agile and alive. The sun was setting painting the sky with shades of gold and orange and she felt satisfied with her workout. Running in the open air was one of her passions a way to disconnect from the daily routine and recharge her batteries.
As soon as she crossed the threshold of her house, however, she realized that there was an urgent problem to address. Running had made her drink more than usual and now the signals from her body were starting to make themselves felt. With an intensity that surprised her she felt an urgent need to run to the bathroom.
I have to do this she thought to herself as she hurried towards the corridor. Her light but fast steps echoed on the floor her heart pounding with the excitement of the run and the rush to the bathroom. She finally arrived in front of the door but in the hustle and bustle of the situation, she realized that she had left her keys on the dining table.
With a nervous smile she tried to keep her cool and reached for her keys. Come on come on. she encouraged herself as the seconds seemed to turn into minutes. She finally managed to open the bathroom door and rushed in quickly lifting her sweats but a little pee was still on her favorite pants
Once she was settled a sigh of relief escaped her lips. The small moment of tension turned into a light laugh she felt incredibly ridiculous but was also grateful that she had made it back in time. Her run in the park had given her a sense of freedom but that final run to the bathroom reminded her that sometimes the little things in life can be the most fun.
She left the bathroom with a light heart and a laugh still on her face ready to prepare a good meal to recover from the energy spent during the workout. As the sun continued to set she felt grateful for her day and for reconnecting with herself through running and enjoying small daily adventures.
