It's over, man. Let her go.

I'm big and round after Thanksgiving!  Curse my wife for picking up Barqs!  I think I've gone through a 12 pack in the last 24 hours.  Oh well, I've got a few weeks before I do it all over again!

So I was checking out runs and Facebook and in the "ads" section of FB I see the Warrior Dash.  My cousin did it this last year and said it was the most fun race she's ever done.  Looks like they're doing one in PA and one in Ohio.  I may have to try and get to one.  Here's a pic of her jumping over the fire (posted without her permission...shhhh!  I'm told it's better to ask forgiveness than permission).  Looks awesome, eh?

Finally got shot up today!  These shots hurt so much less than the cortisone ones!  Must be the lidocaine in it. :-)  I did a little test jog across the street on the way home and where I'd normally be limping, now I'm pain free!  I don't know how long the lidocaine takes to wear off, but it doesn't feel numb anymore and it's been about 10 hours.

I'm working on my formal marathon plan tonight.  It could take a few days before I know whether it was 100% successful or only partially, but I'm hopeful this is permanent bliss!  I love alcohol!  It's killer!

Well, there's a very slight improvement to the foot pain.  The novacaine made the toes numb...but that wore off over Tuesday night and the pain was back.  I heard it may get worse before it gets better so I was disappointed but not surprised.  I scheduled another appointment next week since I can always cancel it if it improves over the weekend.

Hit the treadmill after my PT appointment.  It was better than it's been, but I don't know if that was just because I popped a couple of Advil before heading down.  Pace was pretty easy, between 8:30 and 9:15, varying inclines from 1 to 5%.  It felt good to get back to the gym.  I'm shooting for consistency from here on out even if the foot doesn't allow me to run.  Tomorrow, I'm doing the spin class again.  Note to self:  Bring your RoadID!  I'm going to recover with the P90X Recovery drink mix that Burt sent me.  I think I'll need it!

My brother sent me a picture of his goatee after shaving his full hunting beard yesterday.  His wife forced him to shave it off today.  Funny how just a few weeks ago my wife dared me to shave mine for the Primary program where I'd be sitting on the stand for Sacrament meeting.  I call it my Hulk Hogan beard...she calls it my child molester beard.  If my beard were gray, I could play his double.

My Bro...	and me

Yeah...I know his is better.  And my wife agrees he's better looking.

40 mins on the torture spin bike.  Burt's P90X Recovery Drink saved my bacon.

Update:  After work my wife and I went to Costco to get stuff for a party her friend is doing tomorrow.  I was starving so we hit the food court at about 7:30pm when we were done shopping.  I ate a full day's worth of calories:  Barqs, hot dog (Nathan's brand, I believe), slice of pepperoni pizza, churro, and a berry yogurt sundae thingie.  Yummy!
