A blog about running and anything related to running.
By mile 21 I decided that marathons were ridiculous, and tried to come up with a plan how I could keep myself from trying another. I considered gnawing a message into my arm and then rubbing the last of my strawberry GU into the wound… in the hopes of creating some type of tattoo… but alas the last of my GU was turning my insides into knots.

I am not the energizer bunny
Some of my tests coming back whacko, and others completely fine. My Dr will repeat tests again in a month and if they are still strange, will send me to a specialist. Since whatever is wrong with me seems to be come and go on a cycle, I think I can predict in advance what my results will be based on how I am feeling on a particular week.
Right now instead of running I am playing soccer, ultimate frisbie and volleyball. I would like to wave a magic wand and start running again. I am waving the wand at least... now I just need a shot of magic.

Results
Not race results of course... I wish. ;) After being poked and prodded and poked and prodded, I have been told that I need to be poked and prodded some more. I really don't like going to the Dr. I guess most people don't, but I think guys in particular have a hard time admitting or talking to someone about something being wrong unless there is distinct evidence of it... broken bone...nail sticking out of the head... that kind of stuff.
Anyway... good news that they may be on to something... hopefully it is minor and I can get back on the roads soon.

Between the lines
I am not well. Exactly why, I still don’t know… but I have guesses. It is interesting to me to look back through this blog and see a few things I said here and there that may be pieces to the puzzle… but it is a puzzle that is not complete yet.
Running? There were days last week I have barely had the strength to struggle through a day moving like a snail. Running? Hah.

A pain in the head
So a few weeks ago I started getting the most intense headaches I have ever had. Kidney stone level of pain. Shoot me level of pain. And now over two weeks later... I am still getting them. They appear to be cluster headaches... Cluster Headaches
I had one at the end of my last run... and trust me... the pain is enough I was afraid to run. They do not appear to be related to running at all... or related to anything I can avoid, but I have no idea what I would do if I had a bad one while miles from home.

Running from danger
I have daydreamed at times someone trying to mug me for my wallet or something like that... and I take off running and they run after me... and I just settle in and start laughing to myself. Hope you can run marathon buddy I'd sniker to myself... waiting for the moment they'd stop to puke their guts out about mile 2.
I found a nike add that is a similar theme.It is kind of creepy and didn't air in US I think
Nike add... running from danger

I may have the marathon bug again
I thought I was over it. I thought... enough is enough. I was wrong.
You triumph over the adversity, that is what the marathon is all about, and therefore you know that there isn't anything in life the you can not triump over --- Kathrine Switzer
