Running in Your Mid-30's: A Cautionary Tale

It's been a slow go for the Mayor of Poogieville.

The picture below helps describe the situation.

Nope. It isn't the fact that I'm watching E! entertainment television clips of Johnny Depp. Although, that's weird in and of itself.

Nope. The consequence of starting an unsupervised running regimen in your mid-30's is that you might end up doing what I did. You see, those are my feet.

Two broken ankles.

At least two torn tendons.

And six weeks of humiliation sporting not one, but two walking boots.

Can someone get me a beer from the fridge? This sucks.

Poor Rob. This is why old people like us need to be careful when we exercise. If it is not the ankles, it might be the heart. be careful!

And the quote on the tv says "He knows who he is and doesn't try to be something he isn't." Irony?

I don't see the irony. He tries to make others around him feel good, and his kindness hasn't changed. I know how he understands himself, and hasn't got the big head or ego about life.
