Life goes on...

Its been a few days (a week or so?) since I posted my initial blog entry. That evening I came to terms with some sense of its pointlessness. No one's going to read it, no one's going to be even aware of its existence. Were someone to stumble onto it, I can just hear the exclamation, "What the hell? Who is this? Who are you to think that whatever content you hope to generate should be worth the time of any other?" Of course, there are plenty of blogs of non-elite runners/riders/triathletes--some of which I frequent even simply for the entertaining and authentic nature of their content--and yet I'm not sure what I expect of this. I guess I'll let myself continue to ramble, and, because no one is there to read that which I'm rambling, it doesn't matter one way or the other.

I'm frequently left with the desire to write something--really just to b!itch about life and how unfair it seems at times ( I know, this is a played subject and no one, assuming I had readers, would be hearing anything original)--first thing in the morning. If not first thing, then after I've gotten a cup of coffee, added a touch of sweetener, having just about drained it (the proverbial one-fifth full--ever the optimist), and am looking forward to that which is coming next. That which is "coming next" is invariably my workout. I'm an athlete even if I'm on the shelf at present. Ya, I know, I mentioned in my last entry that I was beginning again. I was. And now I'm resting it. I ran for a few days off and on...and then got a twinge in my foot. Saw the PT, said it was a little tendonitis, would have me keep running were not it so near the just-since-healed stress fracture. So I'm taking a few days off. Its killing me, but what else is there? It doesn't seem to be improving much so I may just start running on it a bit at some point soon. It will either get better eventually or irritate and re-aggravate the sfx. I think I can stop before doing any damage--it wasn't pulling on the fibula or causing any soreness in that region anyway--and if I do, I guess I can write off cross, probably my college running career, as a wash, and move on. I don't know if I can sit on it though, to much longer.
