Run #4 - April 22nd, 2012

Today, I had 3 thoughts while running:

1. How on earth did I eat so much at home this weekend?
2. Why is my left quad numb. Maybe my left quad is having a heart attack...
3. What type of underware is the best underware to run in? Because these are NOT it.

As you can see, all very thought provoking topics. While #2 should have been the most concerning, I figured I had damaged the nerves in my leg earlier in the day, while I spent 3 hours in a car, refusing to pull off the highway to pee. Yes, I know that is personal, but that is when my leg went numb. So I made the over-reacting assumption that this is where the 'holding it' strategy finally failed for me, as it was now causing paralysis. I thought to counter act that, a nice run might sort me out. 

Instead, I imagine today's run looked something like a one person, Three Stooges, act. I was trapped between punching my left leg, in order to try and get some feeling to trickle back into it while juggling the need to keep rearranging the underware which kept shifting into places and spaces my body didn't want it. Top that off with the occasional side cramp from all the eating I did at home and I would call today's run a very successful shit show.

Lesson Learned: Granny panties are not for running, they are just for laundry day & do as my mother always said and always try to go before you leave the house.
