blame it on the rain

when i woke up this morning, i swear to bob i thought i had aged 20 years in my sleep. my knees felt really rickety and the one i tweaked a long time ago in tae kwon do, that rarely but sometimes gives me trouble, was extra specially tender. and my hip? yeah, all wonky again. i thought for sure by the end of the day i'd be forced to crawl on all fours.

but once the rain let up and i guess my body got warm, my limbs and joints felt their youthful 28 year old selves. even so, i'm playing it conservative, elevating my lower extremities and icing the crap outta my hip. i might even substitute my easy run this week with a swim workout. (hahahahahahaha! me??? swimming??? hahahahahahahah)

if i can feel this old now, i don't even want to know how i'll feel in 10, 20 or 30 years!

oh, and don't you think eric and i make a cute couple?

A runner at the gym told me that immediately icing my old granny knees and popping a few ibuprofren after a run will do wonders for your recovery. I agree. I feel like it speeds it up immensely. It sounds like you're already doing it though!

And please- use 'joyfully abundant'!!! I stole it from The Secret myself. But I did pay $23.95 for the privilege!!! ;-)

was it humid? that sometimes messes with my joints...I totally live in fear of aging. That's why I lie about my age, it works better.

Who is this Bob guy and why are you always swearing at him?

I can totally relate to your post and I hope your joints get better, but what I'm really focused on right now is your title - Blame it on the Rain. Haven't thought of my love for Milli Vanilli in a loooong time. I'll be singing that all afternoon now.

I'm coming off another hell week at work and can I just say that your posts always bring a smile to this tired face.
