I Smell Bacon!

While I am not one to moan and groan all the time, I'm really getting tired of my hamstring giving out on each run. The bad part about is that it will never heal unless I take three or four weeks off (which at my level of fitness and lung capacity, would be a nail in the coffin....)

On a lighter note, remember last week I told you to shoot me if I did more yardwork? Well, I did even more this weekend, then I had to set up for a big event for church on Sunday at Liberty park. I had to come back to work today to get some rest!! I told my wife, "no yard work next weekend!!" She said, "ok, just paint the shed." Wives and their 'honeydo lists'. Of course, how many things would get done without them? I probably would have sat down and watched the NFL draft all day long.......

Micah put on the bulletin board that they are running at the rez at 5pm. Just an FYI, Phil and I run at the Ridgeland High School track every Thursday at 6pm until the weather gets too hot if anyone would like to join us. I try to get over there on Tuesdays as well around the same time. Phil and I like Ridgeland better than Madison Central because of newer facilities and closer bathrooms!!

So on Saturday when you blow by me in Raymond and see me limping with my hammy, just yell, "I smell BACON!!"

You can be there with me.... I have already said I would be Robin's limping man that encourages everyone to get far enough ahead so I won't be in their "finish pictures"!... Hey... but, I will have my own finsh picture. Just think your's will be ahead of mine! I just aim to finish at this point. One step at a time... :)

This yard work thing is an evil plot to cash in on life insurance, I am sure! When you pass me with you bad hammy and all, just yell Sooiieee!

Your poor hamstring!!!! Have you tried a massage? I've heard wonders about massage.

I hope your hammy's better soon - you are icing, aren't you?
And how about Biofreeze - I've got a great source for that, I'll get you some....heehee.

I noticed you are much faster than me and MANY other MMers EVERY Saturday, so keep the faith. Hammy may benefit from an extreme ICING down (like Robin says) after every run. Maybe even strapping some on with some duct tape for the rest of the day (looking good). If you survive the icing down, then you've climbed a mountain. I can't do the ice. It produces screaming fits.
