Why is everybody always pickin' on me

First, let me start by letting everyone know that the drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm.

Now back to me. It is only 2:00 p.m. and I don’t think today could get any worse. :( I woke up this morning REALLY not wanting to run. Especially since I knew, I had to train on the hills today plus it was wet and cold and all around did not sound like a good time to me. Finally, I got a bundled up and started out. In the first mile, I pulled my groin. (I know because I www.webMD.com’d it when I got home) In case you were wondering:

What Does a Groin Pull Feel Like?

Here are some symptoms of a groin pull:

• Pain and tenderness in the groin and the inside of the thigh.
• Pain when you bring your legs together.
• Pain when you raise your knee.
• A popping or snapping feeling during the injury, followed by severe pain.

Groin pulls are often divided into three degrees of severity:

· 1^st degree: Pain, but little loss of strength or movement.

· 2^nd degree: Pain and some tissue damage.

· 3^rd degree: Pain, loss of function, and a complete tear of the muscle.

It’s honestly probably not even a 1^st degree pull, but still it hurt and made for an awful run, more than usual. Caleb had drill today so I ran by myself. I love that Caleb will train with me and it helps motivate me a lot more when I know he’s waiting, but I did not have that extra motivation that I really could have used today. People looked at me like I was a freak on my way back home. What??? gimpy people with limps go for jogs with the hood of their jacket tied securly under their chin all the time, it’s not weird.

Well when I got home I took a shower and my conditioner was pretty much empty. Hate that! So I do what I can with a ¼ teaspoon of conditioner.

For lunch I looked all through our cupboards and realized we don’t really have food. But since we’re going to Lake Powell next week we don’t want to go grocery shopping, so I decide I’ll just eat the last of Caleb’s pizza… oops :) I put it in the over on broil and clean up a bit. It BURNED to a crisp. That’s pretty frsutrating because it took me so long to decide what to eat anyway.

So I go for the next best option… Macoroni & Cheese, or Death in a Box as my Nutrition professor used to referred to is as. My sweet mother-in-law bought me Scooby Doo Mac & Cheese, because as we all know the shapes taste so much better. Well it wouldn’t matter because apparently I cooked them to mush. I didn’t even know that was possible.

I think Taco Time’s Crisp Bean burrito is sounding pretty good right now.
