This is my 3rd run in a row without anti-inflammatories - so far not too bad.  I can feel the swelling slowly coming back along the tendon, but like the doctor said, that's to be expected until I can take a few weeks off to let it heal.  If it starts messing with my running too much, I still have plenty of magic pills to douse the fire with.

Here you go Burt, this is me on the throne where I sit for my job...as the King of Iraq(unofficial title, crown pending).

No pictures today? Bummer.

Ah, that's right, you are expecting 1 per day...

From DonGardinero on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 00:42:10 from 70.6.169.239

Nice job on the run.

Yes, now you have to post pictures all the time.

From DonGardinero on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 00:43:49 from 70.6.169.239

Nice couch king Joe. Is there a tv in front of you?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 00:47:47 from 109.70.68.174

I already posted my all my running-related pictures, so that one will have to do. I'll make sure someone takes a picture of me when I collapse at the finish line in Houston next month.

DG - I have to clap my hands for the servants to bring the TV. So annoying...

From DonGardinero on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 00:59:24 from 70.6.169.239

I'll bet that's very annoying. Do you get to eat in front of the tv?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 01:04:38 from 109.70.68.174

Sometimes I am fed grapes by veiled women.

From DonGardinero on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 01:10:31 from 152.216.7.5

It's the only way.

From Burt on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 01:21:46 from 72.223.84.236

That's more like it. Now, don't forget us peasants.

Your throne looks more comfortable than the one I sit on.
