Promise me you won’t ban me from the sight forever, but I keep seeing this word spelled incorrectly, WEIRD. I know the rule is “i” before “e” except after c, but this word is weird. That’s how I explain it to my students.

I have tried to hold my tongue, or fingers as it were, but as an English teacher I have lost control. Perhaps it is my frustration with the inability of the 7th grader to learn anything (about curricula, anyway)

I promise it will not happen again.

i’ll bet you a pound of chocolate that if you’d had a decent snack after the run (and stretched properly) the legs would have been fine. i’m finding that hard workouts, followed by something like a ham sandwich with cheese, or a powerbar, or chocolate milk, within 15 minutes of finishing, makes a HUGE difference in how the legs feel the following day.

oh, and get this…the best my legs felt after a hard run was when i had a krispie kreme donut afterward.

Lovely. Now I when I’m running the Police Half M in April I will chant 13! with a very silly grin on my face. Great job to get ‘r done in the cold!

Dealing with tonsils sounds much easier than obtaining one of those machines (my step dad has one). Hope it’s just the tonsils.

Your wife is a psycho killer? You should get that looked at, that can be serious and harmful to your whole family.

Hey that sleep apnea can be serious! Get that taken care of, will you?
And good job on the runs…
I’ve never bothered to figure out Blogshares either. Seems a little like fantasy football, no? Eh, maybe I”m way off base.

I had a neighbor in GA who got a CPAP, and said it did wonders for his sleep–he was somewhat overweight. I have apnea, but with all my recent moving and changing jobe, I haven’t had the same insurance long enough to see the same doctor two appointments in a row. Maybe now that I’m settling in for the long haul, I can see a doctor about the machine. My apnea scares the hell out of my wife.

Pilates. Absolutely great. Stretches, strengthens - all in the same bit.

Then, there’s the complete lesson in humility when you realize exactly how inflexible you’ve gotten from the running.

(and most of the tapes are done by fit young women, which is a plus)

That blogshares site is crazy. I don’t know if I really understand it, but I have to leave it quickly, because I suspect it’s exactly the kind of addictive thing I’d get sucked into. Be strong!!

If you really have sleep apnea and you get a CPAP, you will feel 1000x better during the day! I can’t wait till this video gets leaked to the internet :)

lmao! (even if if i have heard it before. somehow even with typing, you have a good delivery!)

as for the CPAP machine, you won’t get it without a proper sleep study. (notwithstanding your wife’s own home sleep laboratory!) you should see a sleep doc anyway, so they can tell you if it’s your “tonsils” that are the problem. maybe you need a UPPP. (google it.)
