Today at lunch, I learned that I can run 3 miles without socks on.
Five minutes later, I learned that I can not run 3.25 miles without socks on.
It’s really too bad, because for once I have enough energy, time, and MP3 power to hit a solid 4 miles. “Murphy’s Law,” my court reporter told me in the locker room. Oh well. At least I ran something, 3.3 miles of it, plus 0.2 miles of a cool-down walk. When I realized I had neglected to bring socks after I was parked in the gym parking lot, I contemplated turning around and returning to work, or grabbing a bite. But I had already missed yesterday’s lunchtime workout to have lunch with my coworkers, so I can’t skip any more lunchtime workouts this week. (New rule: I can only miss 1 evening [jujitsu] workout and 1 noontime workout a week.)
I limped back to work just now. I have a blister on my right foot right at the side of the arch, where these particular shoes happen to connect with my foot. *sigh*
so did you learn that you should stop running because it is painful? that’s what i have learned from reading your blog today. no more running for me.
I’ve learned that you will use anything to justify your lack of exercise. I may need to borrow that skill sometime for justifying my lack of…um, other things that I don’t want to admit publicly.
Add this to your list:
Bring an extra pair of socks and throw them in your desk!
Man, you could have run the 5k with me this Sunday! How about I get your a cool blister-specific band-aid for your foot and you come run with me?
Keeping with the context of ‘ya learn sumthin new everyday”.. I learned how to (finally) put links into my sidebar!! It took awhile because my “google” link actually linked to your page.. but I think I’ve fixed that. I need more ideas for links now! For you to categorize your posts… was this something you added to your template?
I should put an “Automobile” link in my side bar that actually has nudie pics.
Cindy knows what I’m referring to here.
Vicky – They have blister-specific band-aids? That IS cool! I don’t really want to get up at the buttcrack of dawn and fight traffic down to LA and run on the streets with a gazillion people trampling me to death in the sleet, tho. How much are they charging to do the 5K, anyway?
Jordan – I usually have an extra pair of socks in my gym bag, but I must’ve taken them out to launder and forgotten to replenish the supply. Congrats on your links! The categorizing on my blog is an option on the program the blog operates on. This blog doesn’t run off a public server like blogspot, it’s on a private server that belongs to my friend “Wilco.” That’s why I have super duper administrative options on here, even if it means I need to go groveling at Wilco’s feet and beg him, for example, to give me access to my hit statistics.
I tried to do something funny and it didn’t even work.. I made a link that said “Nudie Pix” and when you click on it, it takes you to an online confessional.. for ye sinners.. dammit anyway
Aww, why didn’t it work? That’s hilarious!
I don’t know..but I’m going to try it again… it’s a site called dribbleglass.com and has some confessional thing on it that’s very funny…. you can choose from a list of confessions or write your own…. anything from “impure thoughts” to “murder” *gasp*
I’M ROFLLLLLL.. I just got it to work. It’s on my sidebar under “My Nakie Pix”… it takes you to ‘Online confessions with Father Net”.. first I confessed to lying, and he told me it was ok. Then I thought I would go a step further and confessed to killing someone.. he asked me “who”.. I said a “co-worker”.. he said “they probably deserved it”
HAHAHA!
High-five, you postal freak!
Postal freaks hold it all in until they blow their lid (or get fired) and then wipe everyone out with their pathetic gun wielding selves .. I just randomly shoot co-workers for no good reason.
So, you’re LAPD or something. j/k! That’d only be true if you’re shooting them in the back. j/k! j/k!
