I’m just not that creative lately and have to cannibalize the increasingly rare thoughts I muster. Also, some months ago I decided I didn’t want to do the boring running log blogs anymore, but that engendered the feeling that I have a responsibility to be interesting and witty. It’s a lot of pressure I’d just rather avoid. And I’m lazy. [...] [...] I apologize to those whom have heard or read most of this already in email or conversation.

I was (and am) mad at myself because I knew I shouldn’t have run that sprint. I’ve known for sometime that my hamstrings are tender ground beef. So for the first 48 hours after I pulled up lame I was seriously depressed. Sure the hamstring hurt, but worse, I knew I wouldn’t be able to run for …. for how long? I don’t know, I pulled my hamstring in college during baseball season and I was out for what seemed like a month, maybe 6 weeks. Oh lord, if I was out of commission for that long now, I might as well give up running for good. I sulked. I limped. I kept quiet. I tried to ice and elevate and all that, but it was half-hearted, because my heart was broken (awwwwww).

Notice I avoided using the word obligation as I don't want to add a(nother) ball and chain to your load. It goes with the territory if you want return visitors. So let's have the equivalent of some high knees typing. And you can't just put it off by saying you're doing this for your own enjoyment because you've created a virtual community now and you have an obligaxxxxxx I mean an audience to entertain. If it means more hard workouts, get out there. It will make you stronger.
