Running with the Blues

Thats a lame title, right? Anyway, today I went running. This is the first time I’ve ran since I got my injury. Its been like 3 weeks now so I was really excited. I had a lot of energy today and it was absolutely gorgeous outside. So, why was I running with the blues? Well, its seems as though my hamstring is not completely healed yet, or either I messed up the healing at the gym the other day. So, the beginning of the run was great…you know, the silhouettes of naked trees in front of the drooping sunset…perfect running environment, right? Ya, well, less than halfway into my run, I noticed I was getting that feeling in my hamstring again…you know, like its about to fall off of the bone or something, not sharp pain, but dull pain. Ya, so I kept running, but the pain was persistent. I got mad, but I wasn’t about to be stupid and sock my leg again to numb it..so I just stopped running and walked home. To make matters worse I was confronted by two pit bull lovers. I guess the girl pit bull thought I was laying an eye on her man because she attacked me! Fortunately, I still had adrenaline from the run, so as she jumped to tackle me, I busted a matrix back bend, and then as she landed I got her in a headlock and choked her. The boy pit bull got scared and ran away…ok, the pit bull attack didn’t happen, but I am trying to make this blog more interesting. Anyway, so I’m bummed. To add to my hamstring pain, I feel like Spring Break is almost over …The only class I actually want to go to is my ASL class…all my other classes suck…well, on second thought, I hate math, but my teacher makes it a little easier to endure for certain reasons. OK, I’m gonna go paint my nails for a little shoot I’m doing tomorrow with Amy.
