Week 12. Walking around with a grenade in your pocket.

That's the old saying about skating. You're walking around with a grenade in your pocket. Mine went off last night within 5 minutes of getting out of the car. We took a roadtrip to Dayton to skate the plaza up there, but it was covered with snow. We dried off the small rail and skated it for a while, then hit up the shop and a bunch of old guys I used to skate with were in there. Fast forward to Richmond, IN. Indoor park session that was just some locals and us since my buddy runs the place. Cruised around for a bit just to get a feel for the place. Ran out of a trick, no big whup and just stepped wrong and my ankle folded like a cheap suit.
Out for at least 2 weeks.
I can't run but I'm going to try spinning to keep my cardio up until I can get back on my feet. Sucks that it happened right when the weather broke. oh well.

Week 13

This week sucked since it's a frozen tundra outside and I've been sick and the house is freezing. Basically emo all around. I only missed 1 run since I was literally iced in my house. I was not looking forward to the 7 mile run today on the treadmill, but it went by pretty quick. I scanned through some chick magazine that was left on the treadmill and learned all about how Anne Hathaway got scammed by some gold digging Italian guy and who looked the best/worst at some party somewhere. People actually have subscriptions for shit like this. It's baffling. (but great for clicking off miles, strangely)

Treadmill, more like Dreadmill....

I'm going to Home Depot cause I'm old.

Week 14

This week's workouts have been going pretty well. I think my shoes are fucked though. They seem to be making me really bowlegged when my foot strikes. I'm wondering if it's the metatarsal pads.

Anyways. down 3 more lbs. Probably water weight though since I drank too much whiskey last night.

Week 15: caturday

7 miles today. Everything felt great. Which was nice considering I was at the mag all goddamn night. No change in weight. I figure I'm not eating enough during the day and too much at night before bed.

Now off to Home Depot for a new tool belt and other knick nacks....

My life summed up in 3 photos. (brothers from different mothers, my bro in Finland)

Cold

It was cold as fuck today. 6 miles. Not too bad. I think I need to trim my metatarsal pads down some though. They're fucking huge. I was spent the rest of the day, but got a ton of work done. Finished up a VB script I was working on and all the documentation to go with it.

Currently in my predator cloaking armor* and queuing up some Left 4 Dead....

Bailout

120 bucks for the Triple Crown and the Marathon all while my friends are reporting 500+ dollar LG&E bills. Let's consider it a investment in my not becoming a robo-tub instead of a bill (plus they give you free tshirts and a medal at the end -if you make it-)

Gotta run 6 miles today. It's super cold out and I've been trying to decide if I want to run outside at lunch or hoof it out on the treadmill. I think outside will be ok(ish) since treadmills are soulsucking machines of doom.

Finished hanging the rest of the drapes in my house. I've been here almost 2 years, I guess it was time eh? The ones in the living room are still too fucking short. I thought ceiling to floor windows were 7ft. Correction 7.5ft

I'm late for work....
