About that running thing. I may not be as "back" as I had thought. I thought that 3 miles would be a good start. I was wrong, though. The IT band thing just won't go away. I jogged around my gym's track for 1 mile yesterday and I just couldn't shake it. I looked at my watch at the end of the mile and it read "10:15". Shit, that can't be right.
I was lost. I was despondent. Maybe I should just resign myself to the fact that this whole running thing is going to be have to put on hold for a few more weeks...maybe even months. I wandered around the gym feeling sorry for myself and then I just said "fuck it" and went back on the track. I picked up my pace considerably and, oddly enough, the pain subsided. I was in a good mood so I ignored the 2 dipshits that insisted on taking up the entire track as they strolled and gabbed with one another. I even managed to make a cool little move to dodge aforementioned dipshits and the woman who was doing lunges on the outside lane of the track. Yes, I was Reggie Bush without the kickbacks.
Back indeed. Maybe. I hope.

Some odd and random observations on my winter break:
- Apparently, 9am at the gym is "housewife/trainer" time. Comical.
- My parenting style when I'm alone with the kids? Bribery.
- How do I kick off my new year with new, healthy resolutions? By making bacon and cheese stuffed pasta shells.
- Avery Czar Imperial Stout. I have to thank Jamoosh over at Last Mile Lounge for that one.
- I can now recite every line from Toy Story 3.

I didn't know there was a Toy Story 3 until Christmas when my wife brought home something for our nieces. I need to either get a life or get some kids...
Glad you enjoyed the Czar!
Dipshits at the track. They need to be put in their place. I usually just shove them as I run by. Then kick dirt in their faces.
I am going to be right with you when I return to running next week. My pace is going to make me crazy. But at least it's something.
PS: bribery is awesome.
Is it wrong to pee in lane one so that I have it all to myself??
Have you tried using a foam roller on teh ITB?
9am at my gym is senior citizen time. Awesome doesn't even cover it.
Injuries be damned. Way to tough it out. Welcome back-ish ... Cheers!
Pretty sure the gym track and dipshits go hand in hand. Uh, excluding you, of course. You really should probably pick up a foam roller and use it religiously on that ITB. Sounds like it needs a lot of work.
