Tan #86 - I told you so... (Page 24)

Hi TAN. I'm officially in running jail for 6 to 12 weeks. No Shamrock Half Marathon, and MCM is probably a bad idea this year, as well

No fracture, thankfully, but apparently, the medial shin (interior) on my left leg is very aggravated (ie, stress reaction) because it's been overloaded. The shin bump is definitely there, and probably a reaction to the reaction, if that makes sense. I am guessing that the orthotics that were way too stiff and rigid for a foot that did not need that support compounded what was already a bone that has taken more of the brunt because it's the stronger leg (thanks to the pelvic tilt thing I have). Plus, the orthotic was causing that foot to slightly supinate - like taking a chicken bone and bending it to the outside, eventually, it'll snap. So Shamrock is out, and most likely MCM 2010 too. Not enough time to build up safely to start that kind of training.

I am hoping that it will be closer to 6 weeks off and not 12. I'm allowed to do anything but run, and nothing that's too "lunge-y", so squat-lunges are out, at least on one side (which I'm supposed to do to strengthen my hammies).

And I recently found out that the backstabbing wh0re is getting married this weekend - I REALLY need to go drink somewhere after everything...

Thanks for the suggestions - ah, fire hydrants I'm supposed to go to the Newseum with my sis on Saturday, but lemme see if she'd be terribly put out if we rescheduled...

It's a little chilly here. After being 70 degrees for the past 2 days.

Yeah, it's not really that bad out, just a big drop from yesterday, so I wasn't expecting it when I walked out the door this morning.

Rarrrrggghh...don't want to be here. Have other things I could be doing...

Hehe, I know - actually, I came in a little early today, since the ortho's office is right near mine - was pointless to go home and then come back.

Yes, I am serious about coming down - give me a ring tonight or shoot me a PM/email. Got bible study til 9, but around after that.

Artemis - 2009-11-17 8:40 AM Morning TAN.  I need coffee.  I'm way too tired.

Mornin' ... how's the east coast?

It's a little chilly here. After being 70 degrees for the past 2 days.

By chilly, she means in the 50s.  At least that's what it is here.

I hate proof-reading people's papers.  It makes me look like a jerk.

It's 30 degrees down here! I think it snowed yesterday. Brr.
And I love proofreading... they actually pay me to do it at my jorb! I do feel like a jerk sometimes, but only because people never learned how to properly use commas and apostrophes. I can't fix stupid. Well I try, but it rarely works.

 

Comma use is tricky b/c there are places where it MIGHT be "fine", but it could also be construed as excessive. There is a woman here who loves the comma like it's her job.

Incorrect apostrophe use is never acceptable.

I think I might start a side job of editing papers and such for lazy high school and college kids who want to pay me to tell them if they suck at writing. Might be decent cash for the interim while I find other stuff. There have got to be kids who surf Craigslist for just such a thing.
