Runner's Heights: Military Time and Patriotism

Having implemented Jeff Galloway's run-walk approach, I must admit that I have injury-free for the past week or so. It is slightly mortifying to see other runners pass you by and it will take a while for me to get used to it. Nevertheless, I shall stick to the credo, "If you survive today, you live to fight the next day." However, the best part is to discover that the shoes you love so much are finally broken in. The New Balance 766 seems like a fairly well built shoe with good materials.

It will be interesting to see how many runners use military time in their watches. It is a time of war in this nation where some war criminals are using the military for their ulterior motives of oil field usurpation and world subjugation. So, if you change your watch from military time to normal, civilian time format, are you with the enemy or are you with the war criminals? Too bad the war criminals are unclear over whether the use of any format other than military time is unpatriotic.

Runners Heights: Jesus Camp

How do you deal with sprained Achilles Tendon? Apparently, you mope and then apply RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Extension) liberally. That's what Galloway has to say and this is one tendon that reminds you that it's there. Each step you take going downstairs reminds you to pamper it or else...However, the silver lining in this hiatus from running is that all the other parts and joints involved in the running activity are getting a vacation from the tendon's downtime.

We saw the documentary Jesus Camp, on Sunday. The evangelists brainwash children, some of whom are barely six years old. While these children should be trained to use their imagination to find a diversity in their lives, they are instead regimented down by domineering adults who squelch any thinking unless it passes their writ of what they consider the Lord's wish. And make no mistake, this Lord is the male Lord as adjudicated in the Bible...there is no room for anyone else up at the top.
