Enquanto todos capricham nos ternos, gravatas e sapatos lustrados, eu vou de bata. E sand\u00e1lia aberta, escancarando aquela unha estranha. Os cabelos no escrit\u00f3rio s\u00e3o bem cortados, bem tratados. Aqui n\u00e3o, \u00e9 cabelo largado, ressecado pelo sol e pela falta de cuidados. Calma, \u00e9 s\u00f3 uma met\u00e1fora.

Na sociedade da corrida, viro um hippie de multinacional quando o papo envereda para nutri\u00e7\u00e3o. \u201cE a\u00ed, o que a nutricionista te deu para antes dos treinos?\u201d \u00c9 nesse instante que eu pigarreio, falo sobre a baixa uidadne do ar, finjo atender o vibracall do telefone. Nutre o qu\u00ea? N\u00e3o, meu senhor, eu nunca fui a uma nutricionista. Nos check-ups obrigat\u00f3rios aqui da firma, sou obrigado a \u201cpassar\u201d (nunca entendi esse verbo sempre usado entre os profissionais da sa\u00fade) pela nutricionista. Geralmente minto quando \u201cpasso\u201d por l\u00e1. Come agri\u00e3o? Sempre. Costuma tomar refrigerante? Ah, s\u00f3 de vez em quando. Fruta na sobremesa? Ah, muuuuiiitas vezes. Depois da ficha preenchida, elas descobrem que falta ferro, zinco, c\u00e1dmio, ni\u00f3bio ou um desses elementos qu\u00edmicos que eu decorava na tabela peri\u00f3dica da escola.

Sempre como um p\u00e3ozinho antes dos treinos, tento repor depois o que perdi, mas nada muito al\u00e9m disso. E com comida de verdade, zero de suplementa\u00e7\u00e3o, zero de ci\u00eancia. Sempre achei divertido e maravilhoso poder comer o que der na telha, claro que com a responsabilidade de quem j\u00e1 foi gordinho e sabe como \u00e9 f\u00e1cil passar de papa do esporte para pipa. Sempre gostei dessa doce inconsequ\u00eancia de achar que a corrida me libera para a esb\u00f3rnia nutricional. O tempo passa, e vejo que n\u00e3o \u00e9 bem assim. Quero tentar entrar na linha.

While everyone is looks fine in their suits, ties and polished shoes, I go in a large blouse. And open-toed sandals, showing that strange nail. The hair styles in the office are well cut, well taken care of. Not me, it&#8217;s loose hair, dried out by the sun and lack of care. Calm down, it&#8217;s just a metaphor. I am not like that.

We talk about training, racing, motivation, injuries and &#8230; nutrition. Then my problem begins. I&#8217;m a social misfit. In the running society, I become a corporate hippie when it comes to nutrition. &#8220;So, what did the nutritionist give you before the training?&#8221; It is at this moment that I clear my throat, talk about the low quality of the air, pretend to answer my phone. Nutri&#8230; what? No, sir, I&#8217;ve never been to a nutritionist. In the mandatory check-ups here in the office, I have to &#8220;stop&#8221; (I have never understood this verb always used among health professionals) by the nutritionist. I usually lie when I &#8220;stop&#8221; over there. Do you eat watercress? Always. Do you usually drink soda? Oh, just once in a while. Fruit for dessert? Ah, maaaaany times. Once the form is filled out, they discover that I lack iron, zinc, cadmium, niobium or one of these chemical elements that I decorated in the periodic table for school. And they prescribe a menu. That I will keep in the sixth session of my office.

I always find it fun and wonderful to be able to eat whatever you feel like, of course with the responsibility of those have already been chubby and know how easy it is to go from a sport\u2019s pope to potato. I have always liked this sweet inconsequence of thinking that running allows me a nutritional debauchery. Time goes by, and I see that it is like that. I want to toe the line.
