Recipe for disaster

Ingredients:

  • Loops for the Troops 5K road race on Sunday
  • New running shoes
  • Idiot runner
Directions:
  • Lace up new runners for the race, despite knowing you should not run a race in new shoes that you haven't trained for it in
  • Complete the race despite feeling agony in right leg shortly into the race

Results:
  • 2 nights of extreme agony no sleep despite muscle relaxants, Epsom salts, and heat/ice packs
  • Follow constant agony and sleepness nights with 5 hours in Emergency - diagnosis: STUPIDITY and or severe muscle strain caused by fluid build up in the muscle
  • Include added humiliation of bursting into girly tears when ER doctor walks in to help (also humiliation of having 3 days of stubble on legs)
  • Receive Percocet pills but experience great disappointment when they don't even take the edge off the pain (let alone that they don't produce cool hallucinations or the joys of sleeping like the dead)
  • Monitor situation to see if more medical intervention is required.
  • Continue to hobble around the house like an old woman or Dr. House without the cool cane
