There are some costs to long runs though. Shrinkage. It's like taking a 20 minute FREEZING shower. Direct quote from the girlfriend after an 18-miler: "What the hell happened to it??!!"

So, should I reconsider the treadmill that I just ordered Mr. Hathaway in celebration of our anniversary?

I was thinking it would be a good way for both of us to get in shape (him to gain weight and stamina, me to lose weight and excuses)...but if there are going to be unforseen consequences...

Concur.

So, we're being asked to take exercise-safety advice from one guy who's already had major knee surgery, and another guy who has to pull his balls down out of his body after a run?

(Picturing an old guy with a patch over one eye, a missing ear, one arm, and scars over his face lecturing on "Safe Dueling.")

Get up off of your heels.

For 5 cents, this is the advice I get? Thanks Lucy.

Lastly, what kind of moron studio exec thought it would be a good idea to re-make Freaky Friday?

That moron will become richer than you will. I've said it before and I'll apparently have to say it again: "Freaky Friday" will be remade about once every ten years until the end of time. This is a good thing.

Adult-child body-switch comedies allow a familiar adult comic talent to behave in the stereotypic way kids in each generation are believed to behave, mildly pleasing the parents because it skewers their sons and daughters five seats over and two rows up (desperately trying to pretend their parents didn't bring them to the PG-13 movie). And they amuse the audience with a skilled youngster's ability to channel the recognizable mannerisms of the known adult actor. Granted, Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't have any recognizable mannerisms other than showing her TITS, which they probably won't let Lindsay Lohan do here. But they'll come up with something.

Plus, there's no fucking way a 13 year old girl will dig out the Jodie Foster movie from the bottom of the Blockbuster discount bin. Generation gap jokes have changed enough in that timeframe to make it new and fresh.

Take it to the bank: Movies targeted to pre-teens and teens can be remade on 10-year cycles to great success and profit. (Exception: "The Parent Trap" doesn't need to be remade anymore, as the 1998 remake with Lohan was a perfect iteration.)

Oh come on, just suck it up you wuss. Go out there and coast a 2:58 or something, just to keep up the streak. You'll still have 5 months to recover before Boston.

Tell me why you sick freaks run, again?

Jesus. Trust me, you can get the same rush from a really good dessert. It's a lot, lot easier.

Are you certain they're yours?

[idle acts]

I caught up on my fashion magazine reading this weekend. A brief summary:

1) Midriffs are out - thighs are in;
2) Gloves and fishnet stockings are THE must-have acessories for Fall;
3) Red is the new black (Elle);
4) Menswear tweed is the new black (Vogue);
5) Fall shoes are "ladylike" (high-heeled maryjanes with round toes or pointy-toed stilettos); and
6) Corsets and/or corset-inspired clothing is in.

I cannot wait to make a court appearance in a red suit jacket with corset detailing, tweed pencil skirt, fishnet stockings, maryjanes with 5 inch heels, and gloves. NTTAWWT

I think of a bad driver as someone who intentionally disregards others on the road and the driving laws (or just doesn't give enough of a shit about either to pay attention). The old broad who hit me was different in my view (the view I have now, not the one I had when I flipped over her hood). She probably had every intention in the world of being a "good" driver but her age-induced physical maladies hindered that and while her skills may have been just fine her bad eyesight and slowed reflexes inhibted her use of those skills. Bad drivers should be summarily shot while people whose age or injuries/disease* prevent them from safely participating in the daily "race" should just be made to sit it out.

*Neither being a fucking jerk nor driving with your head up your ass is a qualifying disease/injury.

I understand the distinction; I just don't consider it relevant for licensure. Sure, the guy who killed ten people in Santa Monica (if it was that age related) should not be held as responsible as a guy who did the same think recklessly, and neither should be as responsible as a guy who did the same thing intentionally. But there's a reason that traffic offenses are strict liability, and there's a reason that you have to have a license to drive. States and cities should get off their asses and deal with intentionally bad drivers. They should deal with incapacitated drivers. And they should deal with people who may be neither who do a bunch of dangerous or inconsiderate shit on the roads because it saves them time. I won't be any less dead when some asshole with the minimum insurance runs a red light.

And you act like the post-receovery act of doing the above is not an enjoyable fringe benefit (no pun intended).

Well, I am sure that Funny Cide and Empire Maker will also be quite tasty.

:hi: Or at least I hope that I would "know my own," so to speak.

Purse Junkie and SEC Chick are also stacked. I would be afraid of posting mine out of outability by process of elmination as my tatas are not motherjumpin huge.

This must explain the white shirt I saw today with rows of silver buckles and fabric tape--the kind used to bind people into straightjackets, not corsets/standard bondage gear--going up the torso. IMHO, ranting-flailing-dangerously-off-meds-paranoid-schizophrenic is not an appealing "look", but apparently I am merely unfashionable.

Typical lawyer - knows more than the doctor.

My biggest complaint doesn't involve the knees - it is agonizing shin splints after Mile 2.

not7yS

90% of the time, shin splints are a result of a runner wearing the wrong shoes or a result of running too many miles on one pair of shoes. Get fitted at a running store and don't run more than 400 miles in one pair. You can usually get a good 350-500 miles out of a shoe, but 500 is pushing it, which of course means I always run about 520 b/c I'm an idiot...

My little tatas will be staying in their training bra.
