Juiceless

With no gas in my legs, practice last night was
an almost total washout.
My body would not, could not, function.
It's been awhile since my legs burned and fatigued
so completely, so early on, and between that and the
lousy practice the night before, I can only conclude
that I coming down with a bug.
Before I even got in the car I thought staying home
was a better idea, but this close to Nationals I don't
like taking time off.
My mind is a gutter ball this week and all I know how
to do is wait for it to roll out and on to higher ground.
