Sink Shower?

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write about the topic to follow. I made the mistake of opening my door today at work--that’s not the topic. The sun shone, the birds sang, the smell of new blossoms filled the air and I lost all control—still not the topic. I took off for a short run during my lunch break—not the main topic. I have done this many times over the years. I ran in a local park—almost to the point. Once finished I went in the restroom and had a sink shower, an odd sight for sure. Yes, you guessed it. My topic for the day is the old public restroom bath in the form of a simple sink.

I have cultivated this creepy and questionably legal or sanitary act into a near art form. In fewer than five minutes, I was clean (well, cleaner), dressed and heading back to work. The heat of the day and the intensity of the run caused perspiration to last longer than I would like. Sink showers have the setback of causing you to be very cold afterwards. On this day, like I have done following other spring and summer sink showers, I cranked the air conditioning in the car and managed to cool down. The whole thing always leaves me a bit salty, but The Streak stays intact, regardless of how I smell afterwards.

I’m sure I’ll soon write about the water bottle showers I use when a restroom is not available. Or maybe that’s best left to the imagination.

Run. Sweat. Shower.
