I’ve been a good boy. I haven’t run in 11 days, as planned, and have focused on leg/knee/hip strengthening exercises, low-impact x-training (bike, elliptical), and core strength training. Also doing my PT stretches every day, and working on my left calf to try and reverse some tenderness that popped up during my last run.
Sunday I’m planning to strap on the shoes again and see how my legs have responded to the running break.
Work has owned me for the last couple weeks, so I’m feeling the need for some running since it is my equilibrium-balancing tool. Lifting and cross-training are good, but nothing beats a good run for me.
My waistline could use a run as well, as my eating habits have been pathetic for the last month or so. Calories-in is kicking the crap out of calories-out. On Super Bowl Sunday I think the food I ate outweighed the Packers’ offensive line. Damn you Rotelle and Velveeta.

* My wife got me an iPad for Christmas, and I’ve been trying to justify this extravagance by finding a use beyond mindless hours flinging Angry Birds at piles of rocks and sticks. The best I’ve come up with so far is drawing stick figures …. poorly.
No really, that's how one looks in a Run EMZ shirt! Good likeness.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I really love the stick figure!
ReplyDeleteHave a great run this weekend!
Ugh... angry birds. My husband plays that ALL the FREAKIN' TIME!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGet the arm band for that thing and take it for a run!
ReplyDeleteSomedays I have a Rotel and Velveeta ass. But that stuff is so amazing I just can't stop.
ReplyDeleteI love the stick figure but find myself wondering where the SUAR sticker is in all of it. Not that I'm self absorbed or anything.
Wow, now I have justification for an iPad!!!!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think that stick figure is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the type of memory that could record and spit out transcriptions of conversations later. I will say that the knee surgery/BJ conversation was tied to the "my trainer has a date this weekend" conversation, and turned much, much fouler.
Bahaha. I love that picture.
ReplyDelete#1 The drawing rules,
ReplyDelete#2 Run like the wind
#3 Haaaaaaa Ha ah ha ha ha, you are so right about the speraticness of the post, thanks for reading it regardless :) I read it again and laughed, I think I am just over ecstatic that its FRIDAY, you know? :)
Lovin' the stick figure! Enjoy your run this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the drawing! Hope you have a good and pain-free run =)
ReplyDeleteStick figure beats angry birds any day...
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck with the run...hope you have some blue skies!!!
yeah, super bowl sunday was BAAAAD!!!! my feet and toes were swollen like the dozens cocktail weenies i gorged on for a few days. go run, have fun!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. Everything about this post was funny. Well, except the part where you said you were getting fat.
ReplyDeleteisn't it strange how when we can't run suddenly we eat worse, our runner brains are totally screwed up
ReplyDeleteI never thought of drawing stick figures! I love angry birds. You should try cut the rope if you haven't already. I love that one.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your run. Cross training just isn't the same. I agree.
I love the picture....I so need an iPad to enhance my art skills!
ReplyDeleteOMG
ReplyDeleteThis. Made. My. Day.
Ohhh ya I am copying & pasting.
Man. You. Rock.
Wait....
ReplyDeleteThat's not me in a coffin after my 24 hour run is it?!
hope the run went well...I hear you on the eating. Someone put a big heart shaped box of chocolates in my lap and is making me eat them.
