Now I can probably diagnose and come up with a treatment for almost every running injury or ache. As a matter of fact, I've probably had most, if not all of them too!
But for the life of me other injuries drive me crazy............
A few weeks ago I tweaked my left shoulder doing dips. Who knew a tricep exercise could do this????
Rotator cuff, pulled muscle, bone cancer? I don't have clue but it wakes me in the middle of the night.
I've been trying to not do any upper body stuff, which is like trying not to breath............
Then doing damn Hollow Rocks and other assorted abdominal exercises, I think I strained an ab muscle! I don't even want a six-pack, unless it's on ice..... So does R.I.C.E. apply to abs?????
So since the abs are bothering me, why not have my groin on the left side flare up! Luckily, it only hurts when I run........ damnit!
With all of this, getting out of bed in the morning is a real chore. Talk about old man syndrome....
So, I can walk around all day in an ice body suit but I still need to maintain this great physique. What do I do????
I jump on the trainer and start watching Hulu......... My arse is killing me today.....
I've even resorted to the pool, damn kids hogging my lane......... I haven't been in a pool in years and it showed.....
So what is a guy to do, is there a drug for this??????
Okay, Snowmageddon didn't occur here in the Southeastern part of the Mitten! So I purchased mass quantities of BEvERages for nothing.......
source
Remember consuming mass quantities?????? Okay, I'm old.......
I have a few friends that are into Crossfit and the first Open Workout came out yesterday. Boy, you would have thought it was the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition to a bunch of teenage boys! How many burpees can you do in seven minutes? That's the workout... AS much as I hate burpees, I'm shooting for 7!
Speaking of tough workouts, check out Rose. I'm thinking the Olympics must be on her radar the way that she's working out......
Sixteen miles for the team tomorrow is the longest! We are inching our way up to the big 2-0!
Should I be encouraged or pissed when some young adult calls me 'sir'? Encouraged that they're showing respect or pissed that they think I'm that old?????
Peace
Even though this is a short work week, it seems like it is flying by!
1) We're due to be hit with the latest nation-wide storm and people are freaking out like Floridians! I've got co-workers already staking claim to working from home and the roads are dry as a James Bond martini.... We're in the Mitten state folks, grow some balls!
2) Katie posted today about an issue with her calf and how it's transformed her walking stride into a 'pimp limp'! I was floored by that statement because I have been trying to explain (unsuccessfully) for years to people that I am not hurting, it's the way I walk! Growing up in da hood, not really but it sounds tougher. In my youth I assimilated into my surroundings and began walking different, now it's a part of me. Who do you walk like????
3)I thought this was funny and I know how many T-shirts most of you have in your closets. Convert that old race T-shirt into your favorite shopping tote. I think you need to have a smidgen of Martha Stewart in you to do this.

I had to wake up at the butt-crack of dawn to take Sandy to the airport. It was too soon to go to work and too far to go back home! So I decided to go to the gym...........
Now normally I go to this place at lunchtime and the group is pretty diverse with people doing everything.
This morning crew seemed to be focused!
Everybody was doing their thang and getting the hell outta there.
The one odd thing that I did notice was people leaving their weights on machines and benches and towels were all over the place! WTF??
So why the big diff in the two time slots?
Why would I load up a machine with weights and leave them for the next guy?
Why should someone else have to pick up after you because you pay a monthly fee?
(non-gym) Why would I leave a shopping cart in a handicap parking space? That makes me mad.......

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday and purchased some furniture. That seems to be the only reason for the holiday, to have a Sale at the local furniture store....
Being from the 'old school' (pre-WWW) I remember scrambling around trying different types of training plans on the fly! I couldn't turn on my PC and have a plan saved at my finder tips. I had pencil and paper with some numbers and a reasonable date to do my long runs
The only real plans we had were the plans of the elite runners and boy was that hard(and stupid) keeping up with them!
When did the taper period go from two weeks to three weeks?
I remember people racing the day before a marathon!
It's always funny when people ask me about Hal Higdon's training plans and I ask them, who is he????
How many of you used his plans without knowing anything about the man?
What about Yasso 800s? Do you perform them and not know who or what about Bart Yasso?
Just some of hte thoughts that go through the mind of an old runner.........
Peace.

1) I'm being pressured into doing the Make-A-Wish 300 Mile Bike ride again this year. I love the cause and it is fun being on the bike but camping and century rides????? We'll see.............
2) Have you noticed the days are getting longer and longer? I have a little more daylight on my evening runs, which brings a smile to my face even if my running sucks!
3) Lastly, I've been invited to join the prestigious Hanson's (Desiree Davilla) Racing Team! Although I'm excited about it, I'm still puzzled as to why my invitation came in their weekly newsletter email???? Oh well, I'm sure it was an oversight of some sort.

Okay a crappy run yesterday means a non-running related why today!
Since I am a runner and I'm more prone to running behind someone than in the lead. I see a lot of arse, I catch myself doing it in 'real-life' too...
Is it just me that separates their running life from their real-life?
Anyway, today is a fashion question....... Why do they put those pockets in the back of ladies dress skirts?
Do you guys really carry wallets that would fit in that little pocket and give you that bulge on one-side?
I only ask because I care.
Hey, could any of you relate to Santa on the Biggest Loser last night? I imagine that the contestants are always sore and achy! I think he's the first one I've ever heard say it on the show...........
