Hungry

It’s been about 40 minutes since the completion of my run. My body is settling down and quickly cooling off. I stare at the half of a banana, and small container of leftovers which sit on my desk waiting for hunger to hit. Then, I feel a sudden rush of cold hitting. My head feels cloudy too. The feeling forces me to eat out of obedience to the assumed need for post-run nutrition rather than the feeling of hunger.

But, of course, once the food hits my stomach, my body starts to realize that it IS hungry. Now, I am on the search for more food.
