Thank you. You're a gentleman and a scholar!

Oh yes, Bipolar, insomnia, yes, that looks right up my street.
There's also a thread for drunks if that's your thing.
I thought that's what the whole board was for
I'm not a drunk; I'm a social drinker who chooses not to socialize when I drink.
Oh an anti-social drinker.
Gold medal status.

I finished my PT for my knee yesterday and got the green light to start doing some light running. Walked for about 2.65 miles with 4 - 1 minute jogs with 2 minute breaks in-between jogs. Iced my knee when I got home, so far so good. 4 minute miles are just around the corner I'm sure! :mrgreen:

No real discomfort beyond fatigue?

The bad news is he was hoping you were 14. :shifty:

No discomfort or fatigue. I'm going to try to do the walk / job every other day with PT stretches on the off days, my goal is to get back to about 5 - 6 miles of jogging every other day.

That's superb. Even tho that surgery is routine and all, I'd still be somewhat anxious until I found I was back to normal-ish again.

True, very common procedure, my other knee healed at about the same rate, maybe a little slower, I'm just very impatient with sitting around, can't wait to get back to 100% active.

When I think of punk and exercise—not that I really associate the two—it's more of the Henry Rollins gym monster type.

I'd never really thought of my reasons for running in that way, but I will say I'm far more motivated to run when I'm listening to punk on my iPod vs. listening to more traditional rock music.

First day of fall ball. I dribbled a double to 2nd, and scored and flashed some fancy leather at 1b. My hitting was awful I swear Im cursed at this one field.
