As I sit here trying to cool off and get up the energy to mow, it has occurred to me I am just not supposed to run anymore. I digress however and will kick ten kinds of running ass. Some may now and others could care less, but I have a horrible back. The biggest joy I get out of going to new doctors is watching them look at x-rays of my lower back. the best way to explain what EVERY single one has done, is to watch a child, or my wife, tilt a magazine as if to see behind or under whats in the picture. It is a very funny task to watch My lower back has some crookedness to it and my right hip is lower then the other. So I battle with pain more often then not.
Let me back up and share that my run at 4 am on Wednesday was great. For only my second run I was able to finish a 5k in 30 min without any pain or struggle. So when after today I was walking after a mile and half it was a little disheartening. My back was hurting which I can normaly deal with, but when my shins were barking too it made me want to shake a baby. Thank god there were no un-supervised children on this route!! Towards then end of the run it was if the two part of my body were having a competition to see who could be the bigger d-bag. That is like being the smartest KU fan....even if you you are the smartest you are still DUMB!
So as I have mentioned, when I run I have a lot of time to listen to music and think of random stuff. Of course this is in between weezing, crying and coughing of course. It has occured to me for some time I missed out on a few things being from a very small town. For you that are not aware I graduated with 25 people (5 foreign exchange students) and that was a big class! I would never change where I grew up because I had more opportunities then most kids will ever have. With that being said I really wished we would have had a drama department. I have many ideas on a daily basis for great improve.....what do you mean Darin? SO GLAD YOU ASKED. To keep it short lets just say that I think a funny show would be acting out 3 part scenarios involving a famous individual, explaining any topic, to a random audience. The example I gave a friend was to have Ralph Machio explain the new Karate Kid movie to IROC-Z guy(the dude who still thinks its 1985)
Well I am now off to mow and limp...thanks for tunning in and as always, peace out
Way to go, I think it is great you are doing this!!! Shin splints stink I have always struggled with them & the best thing that I could ever find to help was putting a piece of padding that is cut to fit into your arch & tape it with a figure 8 from the back of your ankle & down around/under your arch. Keep it up & Good Luck :)
