best of times, worst of times
Website-wise, this week sucked. Early in the week, I started noticing some problems around the completerunning domain. Weird problems with our blogs and, even weirder, not all of the blogs had the same problem.
To make a long story short, I finally deduced that our domain host changed some security settings without telling me. While I’m a little miffed at the “without telling me” part, it’s hard to be mad at dreamhost because they are always active in the fight against things like denial of service attacks instead of just blaming their customers for problems like my old host iPowerweb did.
So, I spent much of the week fixing stuff. ugg…not the way I like to spend my evenings. Oh well.
Onto to the positive stuff – running! This week has been tremendous. I had a smokin’ 90 minute run on Monday, followed by a terrific 51 minute ass-spankin’ trounce over my four sisters (sisters=hills) route, and a nice 50 minute trail run yesterday that ended with a 7 minute mile. I’m thinking a nice light run is in order for today.
And everything feels good. My ankle feels good. My feet feel good. My calves feel good and there are absolutely no signs of my shin splint nemesis returning.
Transitioning to Pose took a year. A year of no racing. A year that began with running 100 feet at a time. A year of trial and error. A year that included an injury incurred because of a stupid mistake I made, and a year of watching other people progress while I sucked up my pride and learned to run again.
But it’s been so worth it.

Ass-spankings to your sisters? Looks like you could spend another year learning something…
