recoverying

I joined the gym, ran six miles, and couldn't walk. Felt like I ripped my knee into shreds. Meh. Its better now, but I've been off two days, so, we'll see what happens. I'm off to the gym today to meet with a personal trainer. Maybe she'll be nice and take it easy on me....

in other news, I hear my shirtless friend with his long beautiful hair has cut it all off. I hope its not true, I haven't seen him in a few weeks.....


and as it is August 21st and my favorite time of the year is drawing to a close, I thought I'd share this:

i'm so out of sync.

i never run anymore. I mean, thats not true. I do run. rarely.

I ran a few times on my two week vacation, but there weren't any sidewalks and I was running on country roads, and I kept looking over my shoulder like i was being chased by a werewolf. so I didn't run. I ran once in the rain, and it got in my eyes, and I didn't like it.

then I slammed the bathroom door over my toe, ripped off part of my toenail, and had a lovely time with that, and as it was swollen, and sliced open, not really in running shape, I gave it a week off.

Then yesterday I joined the gym. So, if my ipod ever finishes synching, I'm going there. Its hot today.

I did on vacation run my fastest 10k thus far, and seeing as how it was so hot, and I was still looking out for the werewolf I mentioned earlier, I'm pretty happy with it.

oh, and i dug through my arkansas vacation pictures and found this:

a quick summary of a fantastic week
