pen_gruntOkay, all that glorious shoveling glee from Monday? I think I overdid it a tad. I shoveled the driveway, came inside, did my usual run, and then went back outside and shoveled the rest of the driveway and all the back sidewalks. Now my back is pretty much screaming at me. (I know, I know, bend at the knees. . . blah.)
On the positive side, I seem to have much better runs when I have severe muscle pain in one area or another (this is very odd to me, perhaps it's because the running loosens up the muscles, or because it releases hallucinogenic and analgesic chemicals into my body making me happy AND oblivious). I've noticed this with my back now and whenever I'll do hills outside and get cramps in my hamstrings and upper thighs (what's that called again...oh yeah, my quads). I know of no logical explanation.
We're also supposed to get another 8" of snow tomorrow. Happy, happy, joy, joy :)
Oh, and my Star Trek mini-figurine collectible play set came in the mail today (Ebay, of course) proving that I have pushed the boundary from toy collecting to just plain geekification. I think I now qualify as a card-carrying member of Geeks-R-Us. *shakes head* It was inevitable.
Edit: Oh, for anyone in the fam, dad called to tell us that Denise had surgery today. They removed the pin from her arm and "fixed" the tendons in her shoulder so it doesn't keep popping out of socket (very, very painful). So that's a good thing. He doesn't know a room, room number, when she'll be out or even what hospital she's staying at. So basically he called to say that he doesn't know anything (and to talk to Derrick...my dad calls...to talk to Derrick. How incredibly cute...).
