action/reaction

as things go, you have to do something to make something happen. running i've learned the farther you go and faster you do it, the more happens. some good, some bad.

anyway, pushing pace and increasing mileage for three weeks resulted in yet another ankle tendinitis problem today. i was throwing down sub-10 miles like it was nobody's business (and without noticing it) and POP! 3.5 miles in, right ankle (not the one i've had so much trouble with) decides it's time. I finish out the 5 in a slow jog and try not to let it grumpy my whole day. look at that, the gizmo knew. hey, on the bright side, at least the world smells cinnamon-y like tiger balm now... and i already had an appropriate brace thanks to previous run-ins.

last night we added bagpipes to the things Molly dislikes, listed along with vacuums, brooms, lawn mowers, and fireworks. the police academy's bagpipers had rehearsal last night and Molly just sat on the balcony whining. i hate whiners. it took 20 minutes of distraction with her Favorite Ball to get her off of it.

and in other news... looks like I'm out for the Alterra WORS race, thanks to family committments. If any of the ladies want to borrow the Spot to rock that course we know so well, lemme know.

you can give molly this homeopathic stuff called rescue remedy. it's flower essences. you should try it. it's good for the 4th of july for real. i hate whiners too. bruno is a cry baby and ari is just the biggest talker/cry baby/whiney pants boy you ever heard!

i think you should try some acupuncture for the ankle. let me know if you want me to have mine recommend someone in chicago for you.

sorry to hear about the other ankle, too, I forgot to mention that!
Rescue Remedy was recommended to me too. I was told to always carry some and use it in case of a bike crash or other stressful event. I always forget to use it so I can't comment from experience, but others swear by it!!
