you'll strain something

This morning I woke up late and got out of bed to grab a cup of coffee. Ali woke up and grabbed my hand:
"Do you still love me?" he asked
"Of course."
"Even after last night?"
"Uh, what happened last night?"

Last night we went to dinner at Chuy's with old friends. Tukong friends, drinking friends. Afterward we smooshed into Ali's car and ( Read more... )

hah that sounds like a fun night! Today is such wonderful running weather. I wish I could have been on that run with you. Even the run I was on in a dream last night was nice to be on ( ... )

I've never drunk myself sick like that, but they *really* didn't make it look appealing! Oh lordy. I'll stick with my one glass of wine, thankyouverymuch...

I am such a very very slow runner, but I'd LOVE (and Ali says he'd love, too) to get a group together at Walnut creek to run a bit and then maybe have a picnic out there and enjoy the day? Maybe we can do that next Sunday? Do you think your leg will be run-ready by then? Maybe tht will keep you running slowly so you and I will match pace! I'm like you, though, don't worry: I don't talk much when I run. I love what Sheilagh calls "indiret company," though!

Walnut creek really IS a great idea.. It's so near our house!

my AP on my runs was about 11'02" per mile before my injury. Those are some slow miles, so you don't have to worry about speeed.

With the WC course, our pace will be different...it'll be slower...and for me, at least, the run will be a lot more demanding.

My courses right now are mostly flat. There are *significant* hills out there, from what I understand. Because of this, I don't know if I can say my leg will be run ready by next weekend. I don't even get my staples out until Wednesday, and the way they feel right now, I can safely say I won't be running until at least the day/day after those are out. That'll be the first time for me to run in over a week. Oof!

Maybe we can shoot for 2-3 weeks? That'll give me time to get some endurance back and hopefully every last bit of swelling in my leg will be gone!

ooof, yes, let's wait til your leg is back to solid! The word "staple" makes me cringe.

Hills are hard but possible, I think, but uneven terrain kinda scares me. I have weak ankles that turn easily and sprain at the drop pof a hat, so uneven ground will be tread on very lightly by me! Sloooowly.

oh, poor boys! :)

Hopefully they're feeling better today. lots of fluids for them. sounds like they lost a lot of hydration. ;)

I have had a few crazy nights here and there. There have been two times when I actually don't remember parts of the evening. In my case it makes me feel paranoid, guilty and ashamed afterwards. I wonder if Ali's sudden question was rooted in a similar origin.

Remember when we were little and so often had a knee skinned or a scrape somewhere? I can't recall the last time I had a ding on my skin like I that. Thinking back, though, those tumbles and subsequent wounds did make you feel more vital and connected to your environment and yourself. At least for me it did. pain, blood, scabs, scars. ointments, tending, hydrogen peroxide foaming...

It almost makes me want to find a nice patch of blacktop and do a rockstar slide. but not quite. :)
